2003 F250 Raido Wiring Help

Need some help- anyone have a link to the raido wiring diagram? or which wire is the main power from the wiring harness?

I just need to tap into the power so i can run a fm modulator for an ipod. could I also run a radar dector off of the raido w/o overloading?

Also: where is the best place to wire power for a CB?

You do not have to find the radio power wire for your ipod. You sould be able to get some power from the fuse box for the ipod and the cb. Radio Shack sells some clips called "fuse taps" that you can slip around the fuse and slide a spade connector on to get some key on power, or battery power, whichever you prefer. You could use the radio fuse if you wanted to.

OK- so i went to Radio Shack yesterday and they did not have any "fuse taps". They said they stoped selling them bc of the newer model fuse boxes have extra space.
There is a good 10 or so extra spots in my fuse box, but the guy at R.S. said there would be wires haning from the back of the box- there is not.

How can i wire the ipod modulator, cb, and radar dector (all three should be fine to one 15 or 20amp fuse( to a open fuse slot???

Radio Shack still sells them on their website. $1.49 for a 4 pack. Or you could try an auto parts store. Most of the time the blank spots in the fuse box are dead. I do not know of any way to make them power up.
