12V Power Source in Driver Door
On a 2011 F150, is there a 12V power source located inside the driver door that is not switched to lights or door locks, etc?
I would prefer one switched with ignition, but an always hot connection (ie - on even when truck is off), would be okay too. I would think tapping the line into the power mirror controller or something would be hot when the ignition is on and off with ignition off. Anyone with a wiring diagram or experience to answer this question would be appreciated.
The reason I'm asking... I'm considering mounting a unit at the top of the door panel triangle opposite the outside mirror. If I do this, I would like to be able to power it by tapping a 12V power source inside the door. I would require hard installing a and drilling the plastic to run wire through.
This Garmin GPS Along with a Garmin ecoRoute HD this would be my gps and EcoBoost manifold pressure gauge, etc. I'm not ready to do this yet, just planning mount options.

I ran a cable direct from the fuse panel off the delay access fuse, up through the dash to come out right by the door frame. I can't take credit for the idea, I saw it here. Took me less than a 1/2, and about $20 worth of parts.
Works wonderfully, it's discreet but totally functional.
