Hot Wire
Is there a hot wire, ignition on or off above the headliner on a 2008 F250? Thanks

The wire to the map lights should be hot all of the time. I doubt there's a wire that is only hot with the ignition on though.

Thanks everyone. I can't believe I looked right at the map light and didn't get it.
