Drop the Dome light fixture to see what color the Hot lead is.. then do like BIGMike sez. All the Cab roof 12v stuff runs up thru the D-side pillar. (on my 2k anywayz)

Or.. get a wireing diagram.. year specific ??

Yep, dome light wires run under the drivers side doorsil and come out close to the parking brake.

I know because I cut the wire to my cargo light off of the dome light wire and added a new wire all the way to my dash so that I could turn the cargo light on and off with a switch. ;tu

Not a bad idea...I'm just running out of places to put switches lol. Not really I have three switches mounted already. I have a switch for my gauges, my spot lights on the bumper, and my 875W inverter.
