Types of accessories and whether or not you're using switches would be good information to know.
I would personally use the internal fuse box for switched items. If you're just trying to find an IGN+ in the engine bay, I would invest in a multimeter. They're pretty inexpensive and come in very handy for any electrical work on the truck (or your home for that matter).

Are you asking for the physical location of the second fuse box? There is one in the engine compartment and one under the dash by the emergency brake pedal.
If you were asking something else, then please disregard.

I am installing a Bussmann 5 relay 15303 that will have 5 switches in the cab. I thought of using the internal fuse box and have already made up the fuse tap to 5 daisy chain ends. I am thinking I can control some of the relays on the bussmann to be controlled by the ignition instead of off the 2nd battery.
Accessories are 2 lights and fridge and leave the last two switches for future use. I'll just pull the fuses for them.
I have a 2 multimeters just not with me. I'm storage in another state. That's how I brought the second one last time. I don't want to buy a third. Just thought someone might have already done this and know where in the engine fuse box it is.
Thanks for responding.

Good choice in switch system. Here's my take on it...
I would run the 12 switched wire to the inside of the cab along with the other leads for the switches. You're going to have to run the switch wires into the cab anyway. And then just use the internal fuse box to find +12v ACC. It creates for a much cleaner wiring set up than wiring it to the engine bay fuse box. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like to see wires tapped into the engine bay fuse box because it causes more clutter. Meaning, there's now a 12 gauge wire going into the that fuse box. In some cases, if you have other accessories tapped into that box, it makes it difficult to close the factory fuse box lid.
