electrical help...

I need 12v after the key to power guages on my 06 f-350 lariat, a connector / color code and location would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Rich

thanks, i saw that earlier,
the thing is there asking for power after the switch to power the guages,so key on -power to guages , key off no-power to guages and that link shows a add a ckt from the fuse block for steady power to the guages. I'm afraid of waking up to dead batteries in the morning...
Or am i missing something here..some times i need to be hit in the head...lol..

Thanks

It's the factory instrument cluster circuit - it will only be on when the key is on.
