Location of a CHMSL Wire on a 2011 F350 for Third Brake Light Wiring
Updated 07/09/2020 | Published 03/02/2012 >
Question:
Since the brake light wire can not be tapped, can you tell me where to find the correct wire to use without tapping the cab 3rd brake light? I have a 2011 F-350 SD Thanks!

On your 2011 Ford F-350 SD there is a blue-orange wire under the hood on the driver side that can be used to power the third brake light.
Check out the picture I attached to see what it looks like.

In regard to the blue/orange wire on a 2014 F150 that is used to power the third brake light (CHMSL) on my Leer cap, can you tell me where the power comes from or what fuse is used for this light. I was getting power to the line and now it is dead. I think I may have shorted it.. Thanks.
