Amber Grill Lights & Fuse Tap Wire Routing

[Maritimer0021]

Hey All -

Relatively new to the forum, but just took delivery of a 2022 1500 Ram Red edition (my 4th Ram truck to date). I’m pretty stoked about the truck, and have already added a tailgate light bar, additional reverse lighting, and now front amber lights - all using information I’ve sourced on this forum (thanks!). I’ve had the truck for 5 days and I keep finding cool mods on this site to spend more money and time on.

I’m stuck on the grill lights. Apologies if this information is clearly identified somewhere else, but I’ve looked. I’ve got the lights mounted, wired, and grounded, but stuck on the fuse tap.

1. What fuse to tap into to have these lights turn on/off with the parking lights. Some people say F60, F38, or the MCAS+ for the trailer lights. (Not sure how to fuse tap this?)

2. How to route the fuse tap wiring so I can still close the fuse box cover tightly and not damage the wire.

Any help you guys can provide would be sincerely appreciated. Pics are helpful too!

It was recommended to use the fuel pump fuse. I don’t know the number. It only comes on with the truck on. I think it’s a micro fuse tap. I was able to close the case without any issues. Probably had it done for a year and a half.

Can you tell me from which direction you entered the fuse box? Maybe that’s the trick

[mention]Night Rebel [/mention] many thanks for the help and pics! Finished up the job this evening. I rerouted the wire slightly and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks again!

@nightrebel…I don’t understand here you tap it, you’re pointing at d yellow fuse (F17) which is d Air Susp but your tap red wire was @ F01 (Fuel Pump. Mtr/ Assy Fuel Tank 25 amp which is next to K01 (fuel pump). So which one brotha?

Use F44 if you have a 10amp fuse its the trailer camera slot i used it for my grill lights.

Here is what I have in my notes

On with ignition

F01 - fuel pump

F38 - Drive Train Controller Module

F44 - trailer camera

F60 - ECU



On with headlights



F11 - ID/Clearance Lights - If Equipped

F12 - Trailer Tow Park Lamp (tap into wire)



Tap into front marker lights (LED)

On the 16-way connector that is plugged into the driver side headlight, it is the white wire with brown stripe in position 13. On the connector that is plugged into the passenger side headlight, it is the white wire with orange stripe in position 13.

Anyone know of a fuse that will only be hot when remote started?

On my limited I have top and bottom marker drl lights on the headlights that can light independently. Any idea how to tap into each? Looking to find access to the signal from the bottom one. See attached pics for the white one.

I don’t know the answer to that sorry. Maybe @Jimmy07 can help.

I would think it would be a fuse that’s on with ignition. Don’t want it to turn off after you press the button?

He’s tapping F01

I want it to be on when remote started but after I press the start button it turns off. Im thinking about getting one of the LED strips for under the hood but only want it to do the start up sequence and not be on all the time when im driving around
