Fuse F11-ID/clearance lights for LED grill power.

[Redz72]

I will be installing LED grill lights this weekend. Has anyone wired them using F11? I plan on using add a fuse to pull power from here. My truck did not come equipped with ID/clearance lights from the factory. Is this fuse position hot or is it something I can enable with Tazer Dt or the dealership?

Or is there another slot I can use and add a fuse (mini)? I’d like to control the power to the LED lights with the parking lights.

Yes I know I can T-tap off the parking wire via the wiring harness, but trying not to do that.

You would need to look in your fuse box to see if there are contacts in both sides of the fuse slot to know if it's an option, and then use a meter to check for voltage.

That was the plan but it’s raining and thought I could skip a step in the process. Lol. Curious if anyone else has wired their set up this way before.

I have heard of folks using the fuel pump fuse, since it only has power then the truck is running. f01 i think

That’s an option as well. But I’d like to have them switched, not DRL.

Gotcha.

I personally wouldn't mess with the circuit for something as critical to vehicle operation as the fuel pump wiring.

Agreed. I’m staying away from that circuit.

What fuse would be recommended that is off with the ignition?

 

[Redz72]

F12 is Trailer Parking lights…but that uses an Mcase type fuse and I’m not familiar with a way to tap that. I do have mini fuse taps.

Disclaimer: I have no idea if this works on a regular DT truck, as I have a TRX (and some of the wiring is different).
I re-wired my clearance lights from F11 (which only works with lights on) to F44 (trailer surround camera). That's an ignition-powered fuse, and happens to be unused. So now my clearance lights are on whenever the ignition is on.
It's not so much a "rewiring", as it is running a jumper from F44 to F11.

That’s another option. And it appears to be a mini fuse as well. I’ll look into that. Thanks friend.

Thanks @Eighty

This is the thread I was remembering

Grill lights

Finally got some grill ambers installed. Super easy. I tried tapping into the f60 fuse but they would stay on so I used f01 and that seemed to do the trick.

Would be good to know which fuse is recommended to tap for ignition switched, and parking light switched power. It would have to be a mini or micro.
