Josh,

Go to this LINK. User id is marshall - password is public.

Click LOGIN and then on next page click Auto Repair Reference Center.

Then just navigate to the wiring diagrams.

You need both a battery charge relay and a backup light relay. If your truck did not come with the "Tow Package" you will not have them unless they were added later.

Thanks. The truck cam e with the tow package and had all the relays installed. I did notice that the battery charger fuse was blown so I replace it. Still no power with the truck running. I also checked the relays and could feel them click as the truck was turned on. I also went ahead and traded them out with the ESOF realys with no change. Tha is why I am guessing it is a wiring issue (probbably a chaff). What I need to check is to see which pin power comes into from the fuse box. From there I can also check accesory power (which I am getting cause it clicks) and then the switched power coming out of the relay. At that point I will follow it diwn the wire nad through the connectors. That should help me fix it.

That oughta get the cat skinned. Good Luck.

Hopefully it is just a loose connector at the rear of the truck, or a loose wire in the 7 pin, but it's never that easy.

On my truck the battery power wire was present at the rear bumper, but was not connected to the plug.
