Help Needed New gauge install question

[danno]

I have added a single gauge pod and gauge to my 08 F450, can someone tell me were I can tap dash light power for the new gage? I can't seem to find a wire for the instrument cluster.

On my 02 F350 if I remember right it was a light blue wire at the main headlight switch.

Thanks in advance!

I put mine to the light switch for the head light switch, but put it to the running light.

Which wire? I tried all of them with a test light and got nothing?

Switch was on, checked every wire at the switch and dimmer.

I did, I even checked the test light probe in the center cig lighter + to verifiy a good ground.

there should be power there all the time(on one of the wires), unless the key needs to be turned on. then there should be power on some of the other wires to run the different light circuits. as to which wires it should be, i don`t know off hand. you should beable find out with the test light....
