Power for DRL

[mtb9153]

Can I connect the red wire coming from a 3amp fuse block on my DRLs to a power connection inside the under hood fuse box in my engine compartment? If so how do I remove the cover to the fuse box?

Righ rear corner, you'll feel the lever.

You might be able to use an "add a fuse."

When I first read this I thought 3amp hhmm, THEN I remembered LED's

I've felt up mine a number of times and have never found a lever, or any other way to open it. It's like trying to find the G-spot.

OMG! TMI, that description was certainly more than I bargained for, but thanks.

Found it but what a BI**H that is to loosen and get the cover off.  Could Ford make it any harder?

Make sure you aren't connecting to B+.......... Make sure it's a switched power source.

 

 

 

WAB!  What the heck is that hose clamp setup for on your power stud ?

I think he has added an accessory and that was the quickest way to get 12VDC

It's the ground and 12V from our motor home.

It charges the 12V C-Max battery while we are towing.

The ignition has to be on while towing which WILL run the battery down.
