I will.probably just tap into f60 . Then maybe later run a switch into the cabin. I dont want to make this overly complicated its not critical im just changing grilles for the look ,they just happen to have lights lol

I’d prob do the same. Sucks that it’s a critical fuse, but no one has had issues yet. I’d prob keep some spares in the truck just in case

I tapped into fuse F44 trailer ind light ? It works when truck is turned to mar . I dont have a trailer but there is a 10 amp fuse in the slot. So i put in a add a fuse, grill lights are working now. Heres a picture ,changed the grill and lights. Figured i would change the halogens since i had everything apart anyways lol.

My fuse box has f44 says trailer camera. I’ll have to take a looksie and see if it has a fuse or not. Sounds like it worked out for you tho.
Yes Its the trailer camera. I didnt want to tie into anything vital like the ecm or fuel pump. I got my multi meter out and started testing fuse slots. Cant believe they didnt add more live spares.

Nicely done. I don’t have a trailer camera, I’ll have to check for a fuse as well

Here's a list of what i've gathered so far

On with ignition
F01 - fuel pump
F38 - Drive Train Controller Module
F44 - trailer camera (if equipped)
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.
Are you aware of any way to “equip” F44 in the computer? My F44 & F37 aren’t drawing any power and I can’t power my switch pro. (don’t want to tap F60 & I’m hesitant to tap the studs because I only drive it on the weekends)

Edit: can this be added via TazerDT possibly?

Not sure. On my fuse box F44 isn’t even wired underneath.
