Parking Light Wire

Hello Everyone

I am installing a remote starter on a 2008 F150 STX. I need to tap in to the parking light wire. It is impossible for me to tap in at the headlight switch. Is there a more accessible place I can access? Thanks

A thought - if the fuses and relays are installed you should be able to tap into the trailer brake controller connector. Worth a try.

Under the dash right near the OBD2 connector.

The connector does not have a parking light pin. I was finally found a brown wire in the driver side kick panel that I used. Thanks for your help.

It doesn't have a parking light pin, but it has a running light pin - should be the same thing.
