    You have a couple 12v power outlets down low behind shifter, and probably another one in the center console. Any of those are hot with the key on or truck running.

    You should be able to tap into the illumination circuit of a nearby switch that is back-lit. The wires are small so I would recommend using a PosiTap to make the connection.

    I don't know what color it may be for your 2020. It is light blue in my 2015. Perhaps @RainMan_PNW can assist with your 2020.

    Check the build link in my signature.
    It will depend on which switch you are grabbing the illumination circuit from. It varies by switch and by year, and even trim level.
