Images may not be good enough for very subtle differences, but it would still be great if people could submit a photo of their OEM brackets. I'll start off, here are mine off of a 2021 RAM 1500 Limited: To be absolutely certain, it would require someone physically having brackets off of...

My apologies, @securityguy, I edited my post after you quoted it. I first said I didn't think the new Right-On 2021 brackets would fit, but I edited that to say that the up/down orientation might instead be affected after more examination of the photos. Without actually trying the 2021 version...

This doesn't make sense to me since there is no difference in the OEM bracket part # from 2019-2021 (part# 68414475AC). There is no different OEM bracket for 2021. The 2020 Right-On brackets fit perfectly on my 2021. Given the hole alignments shown here, it looks like the holes were simply...

I really hope you're right but it begs the question as to why the OEM brackets are so oddly massive. It's highly unusual to add so much weight and bulk to a truck unless there was a valid reason. I think they also knew that they would interfere with tonneau covers, yet they still thought the...

This is an excellent point and perhaps the best explanation yet as to why the OEM braces are so massive. After my Retrax Pro XR arrives, I'm going to evaluate if it's possible to weld a cross brace onto the Right-On brackets in some way. It may or may not be possible. The Right-On brackets are...

Spare Fuses: Since RAM uses so many different types of fuses, it's difficult and costly to purchase spares for the road. The biggest problem is finding MCASE+ slotted fuses because these are rare. With some searching, I was able to find a selection of fuses for each category that can be...

I just installed a set of the current Right-On brackets on my 2021 1500 Limited and they fit perfectly. No complaints whatsoever. The part number of the OEM brackets is 68414475AC. This is the exact same part number for model years 2019-2021 so I don't see why there would be any difference in...

RAM Fuse Types: Expanding on the information above, it's important to note that RAM used four types of fuses in both fuse panels. I carefully documented in the tables which type of fuse is used where. RAM included some spare fuses in the External Fuse Panel, which are shown in the diagrams, but...

It's no big deal, I did this because I'll be RVing on the road for months at a time and I wanted to be sure that there were no surprises with the fuses if something went wrong. Once I was done, I thought it could be of use to others here because the OEM fuse documentation is really inadequate.

Fuses only supply power to circuits, they themselves are not switched other than via the ACC or IGN modes. To add lights that only come on when the mirror puddle lights come on, you'll need to tap into the wires that power on the puddle lights or other lights such as you mentioned. You need to...

I just finished this. Please see this thread for full, comprehensive documentation on both the Internal and External Fuse Panels.

I posted a diagram for the Internal Fuse Panel recently. This was good information to share with other 5th-Gen 1500 owners because the owner's manual doesn't contain such a diagram and the labels on the panel are very hard to read. However, there was a lot more information that could be even...

Yes, that's what I thought, I just wanted to make sure. You always have the choice of: Constant Power: Always on ACC: Power in both the ACC and IGN key/start button modes IGN: Power only when the engine is running. They all have their uses and pros and cons. I usually use IGN for accessories...

Fuse positions 54A and 54B will provide either constant power (A) or IGN power (B). If you want ACC power, find a fuse that has 12VDC applied when ACC is turned on. You can do this by looking at the fuse descriptions and then confirming with a voltmeter. If you pull the fuse, one side of the...

A lot of RAM owners are experiencing issues with dead batteries whether they have eTorque or not. The problem appears to be excessive parasitic drain when the engine is off and not enough Reserve Capacity of the OEM battery to compensate. Check out the dead battery threads for more information...

Excellent points. I've edited my post above to make this clearer.

Correct. Fuse locations 54A and 54B are a special case. Apparently, RAM took a Micro3 slot and wired it so that a Micro2 fuse could be used in the right or left position to select whether the owner wanted the Power Outlet to be on all the time or only on when the engine is running. The default...

Like @securityguy said above, you use a Micro2 Fuse Tap. A lot of people don't know how these work as they can be confusing. Basically, they allow you to tap 12VDC power from an existing fuse location and send it to an added-on accessory. They provide sockets for two fuses. One is for the...

My thoughts exactly. I plan to do that one this weekend. I'll post it in this thread.

I have the Trailer Tow Mirrors and the Trailer Tow Group options on my 2021 Limited and it came with the 360° surround camera. You should be good to go. However, I did notice that the RAM website has recently changed the build options for the Limited. If you choose the Trailer-Tow Group, you...
