It differs slightly by year, but check this thread where I posted the answer for a 2003 https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=453416. You have an '04 according to your profile, it's in roughly the same place. The link I gave will lead you to other years, you can research there. Look for the "PTO Wiring"

There is a bundle of wires labeled "customer access circuits" or something like that just behind the radio. You don't have to pull the radio, just look under the dash behind it. There is a white wire with a light blue trace. That wire is switched hot when ignition is in run. I used it to power a relay that then powered my switch box for all my lights.
I also used the pass through wires so I didn't have to add extra holes in the firewall... Heck, they are there, why not?
