    Too many to list. See build page. Link in signature
    Atleast someone said it!

    :facepalm:

    OP, please stop, seek professional assistance, and use a relay! Your powering an off-raod lightbar, this is not a simple 5 amp add-a-circuit type install.

    :facepalm:I feel stupid for not realizing that he is trying to power a front LED bar. Guess I should have had a hint when he said the ground was running to the front of the truck.

    I guess I should ask what kind of LED bar it is and how many Watts it's running...

    Hope that helps with what? Providing a point where he can violate the integrity of a critical electrical system so we get to answer another thread in 6 months "Help! I'm on top of Mt Washington and my truck won't start!"

    he mentioned the Blitzpro Hawk 21S. If it's that light, it draws 54 watts.

    Yeah then a 5 Amp fuse should be fine.

    80% rule.
    That's 4.5a, need a 6a fuse minimum.

    I'd recommend no smaller than components that can handle 10a and a 7.5a fuse.
