A co-worker is wanting to put a gooseneck on his truck, 90 F-250. He wants to know where to hook the 12v wire from the plug end on to the truck? Can he splice in to a hot wire in the harness to the back end or should he try to hook in the cab wiring somewhere. Thanks for any help

Not completely sure what you"re after. A 12 volt hot line, for powering accessories inside the trailer? For those I always hooked to the battery of the starter solenoid, and ALWAYS with a fuse or circuit breaker right at the beginning. As for turn signals and such, I mounted an RV style plug in the bed (Bargeman is the generic name), on the left side. Drill a hole in the bed floor, use a grommet so the wiring doesnt get cut. The wiring for the trucks lights runs down the left frame rail. To splice into it, use ONLY a 3M brand Scotchlock, and smear it good with dielectric grease so it doesnt corrode. Use a testlight to determine which wires are which...I used to know the colorcodes, but its been a while.

Most "newer" pickup trucks have a connection at the rear in the harness that you can get a "T" to plug into and you don't need to butcher your wiring. Not ALL trucks have this.
