Radio Wiring Diagrams - Radio Power

[rcarver62]

I am looking to find a power wire for installing a new radio, i cannot locate a power wire for the radio. All of the wiring diagrams i can find online seem to exclude the radio completely.

Any help locating that proper wire?

Is it best to just run a new wire from the battery sole purpose for the radio?

Thanks,

It would be easier to answer you if your truck's details were in your signature.

And, what kind of radio are you putting in?

More than likely , if a new unit, that it will need Ign and Batt power?

Installing a retro sounds look alike OEM unit with bluetooth.

So run a direct wire from the battery?

When I installed my stereo I used the circuit for the cigarette lighter for my constant hot.

Thanks for your info, ill see if mine still works, but that is a good idea!

Looks like the hot to the cigar lighter was taken out prior.

So my guess now is to figure out which wire off of the ignition switch to connect onto?
