    Darn. I had a suggestion for you if it was an access cab. The rear door power windows (which an access cab doesn't have) are wired from the fuse box to the kick panels and that would have been a great place to just cut off a wire and solder it into your fog lights, since it's unused in an access cab.

    CB3FD307-02E7-414D-B732-48CCCDF930EB.jpg Do you think I can take out a fuse and insert the red wire in the force in the fuse into position? Something like this

    Do you not have any other way to tap into a wire? Have you searched the driver' side kick panel area for the towing brake connector?

    Mines is a 4cylinder, do you think it has it? I can check it out tomorrow but what can I do with the towing brake connector?

    I wouldn't do it that way. I have tried my hardest to come up with a clean way for you to tie a medium amp load into key switched power without an add a fuse and I've come up with nothing.

    But can I connect it straight to the battery? Because the red wire already have a in line fuse built in...

    You can, but you'll need to lengthen the wire and if you forget to turn them off, it will run your battery dead.

    Can I buy an add a fuse and ship it to you?

    Muddinfun, thank you very much but you don’t need to do all of that I will wire them to the battery.

    Once I can turn them on anytime I want, I will connect it to the battery for now then I will find a Add-A-Fuse later on... Is that okay?

    Hi guys, I was thinking about tapping it into the 4WD fuse because my truck does not have 4WD.. Is it possible and have constant 12v?

    Do you have a test light? If so check to see if it has power. If it does I don’t see why not use that circuit with an add a fuse.

    edit to fix autocorrect lol

    Noooo! Use an Add-a-Fuse. If you do what you're proposing, you'll destroy the fuse box.
