Wiring Diagram

Does anyone know where I can find wiring diagrams for the X?

Specifically, I would like to find a switched (ignition) high amp, wire that goes to the back of the truck. I want to run a vair air compressor off of it.

I don't think you are going to find a wire of sufficient amperage preexisting on the truck for your air compressor. Unfortunately, you will probably have to run fused lines (maybe directly from the battery even) and a relay. However, I think your easiest ignition circuit is going to be the trailer battery charge circuit. I can't remember exactly which pin it is, but if you look at the flap that covers the female connector on the truck, they are labeled, and you can just tap the appropriate wire. I wouldn't plug the compressor directly into that line (i think its less than 30 amps, I dunno what your compressor needs), but you can use it for the ingnition signal.

Good luck, and hope that helps

The trailer battery charge wire is an orange wire fused at 20 Amps. I think it is pin 7 but please measure to be sure.
