Don't understand what you are asking?...."also is there a power point on the that is switch from Battery"???? Are you looking for an ignition switch, are you looking for a hotwire for power????

The best thing to do would be to wire your radio's power wire to the battery and tag the ignition sense option to a ignition switched fuse in the fuse block. If you don't want to convert your radio to ignition switched, just use a relay, wire your turn on for the relay to the ignition switch. What kind of radio are you installing? Maybe I could give you a better suggestion.

Yes it i was. And i dont Even Drink just dont sleep as much as i need to.

Well it is Not for the Radio. It is for the Plow controller.

seeing how most Plow installing places always hack the fuse blocks

Sorry about previous post, I thought you were talking about for the radio. Also, sorry I can not help you with the snow plow. I don't even know what a snow plow is :D being that I'm from southeast Texas, we never see snow.

Snowplow on F550......

Connect your pump's #4 power cable directly to the battery side of the starter solonoid on the inner fender on a Ford.

For the control's power, you may use this same point, but use a 30A fuse inline. You can also get B+ power at the underhood fuseblock where the large cable from the battery attaches to it.
