accessory wiring
are 250's pre-wired with accessory wiring, or do i need to run straight from battery to wire up lights and other accessories? if it is pre-wired how do i determine which wires. help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

What are you thinking about hooking up? If it's something small, then you can tap into the fuse box. But fog lighting and stuff like that will have to be wired from the battery with a relay.
The only thing really pre-wired from the factory was some trailer tow harnesses if you had a towing package.

My personal fix
I have wired up a ton of extras, here's how I personally like to do it.
1 main from the battery to a relay
run a wire from the hot side of the radio fuse to the relay switch on
ground relay
send the relay output to an aux fuse box (can find them pretty easy at auto parts stores)
everything works with the switch, saves your regular fuse box and gives you a good amt of juice from the battery. FUSE the battery send to the relay - if you get in a wreck and you end up shorting the wire from the battery to the relay, you'll start a fire.
