Seat Wiring: Looking for a Run-Only Hot Wire
Question for someone familiar with the driver side seat wiring. I'm looking for a run only hot wire. Which wire near the DSM would work for this? A wire diagram would be helpful too if anybody has one.

What for? That will change everything - depending on what it is you need a hot wire for...

I don't think it matters. I just need a ignition switched hot wire. Not driving a heavy load with it, just need to know when the truck is on.
Needs to be in the driver seat area.

Get a multimeter and start hunting for hot wires that are only hot when the key is on.
That's the fastest easiest way.

No LEDs. Just need a 12V signal, but I fear everything in the seat is always hot
Just looking for some info on wires please. Does anyone know of a good resource for detailed wiring diagrams for F150s?

Thanks for the info rnlcomp.
I got those tricky connectors open and hit all the pins with the multimeter. There is no delayed accessory wire in the seat! Grr. The best I found was +6V in run which isn't exactly what I was looking for.
Oh ya and all my airbags went off.

Any yellow connections, don't touch those.
