Do you mean from the factory head unit? It probly doesnt have one. If you need a remote wire to run for amps or somthing off the factory deck , you can run the remote to a spare spot at the fuse block to a "switched" or acc. 12v spot using a spade terminal.

Hey Korndogg, I believe a the switch 12 volt wire on this car is yellow behind the HU. I agree with Rushman as it would be easier to use a spade terminal to get it off the fuse block. ------------- MEH66

the speaker wire should have a trace line of another color on it while the 12v wire is solid yellow.

try one...and if it doesn't work...try the other...worst case scenario is that you will blow a fuse...not likely though unless your rear driver side speaker is blown...once again you will not hurt the speaker or the deck if you accidentally hook it up to the rear driver - spkr wire...

---The 12v wire I would believe would be at least a 14 gauge wire. The OEM speaker wire shouldn't be anything larger than a 16 gauge, I would think even an 18 gauge.

On that truck this is easy. The yellow speaker wire is on the side of the plug with the brown, light blue and dark blue wires. The other yellow wire, which by the way is the same gauge, is on the side with a brown, orange, tan, light green, dark green, grey and a few other wires. That one is your ignition line and can be used as a remote line. You would be best to invest in a multimeter for cases like this.
