Electrical Question!
Are there any 12v keyed wires on the PCM?
I just installed Warn 350F Fog lights. Great price and they have a remote activation switch (no wires through the fire wall).
The only place, on my CTD, to mount the electronic receiver/activator box was on the fender near the factory air intake hole.
But the remote switch inside the cab does not have a light to indicate if lights are on or off, so danger is leaving them on when shutting the truck off. I don't want to use the low beam wire, as recommended in directions.
Installing fog lights and Computer chip boxes is about the extent of my electrical expertise. I need a 12v, keyed wire as near the air intake as possible.

Hey Row, I would thread a wire thru to the fuse block or into the cab and jump into a keyed wire on this one.
Messing with the ECM'v voltage that close to the box would give me nightmares!

I would fish a wire to the fuse box myself. I have a 4 channel remote to run my lights and have it hooked to the same wire I used for my gauges, the stereo fuse. I tap the wire on the back of the panel downstream of the fuse. ( that is if you pull the fuse, the circuit is dead on that wire). That way you are using the fuse for the stereo to pop.
Wiper motor has a 12V RUN/ACC circuit that you can tie into at the PDC or at the wiper motor itself. I'm assuming you are just using this for a signal and not the load of the lights correct?
Just a quick look at the FSM, sure there are more switched in the engine bay, that was the quickest straight shot I found.
