    I tapped into the EFI2 fuse for my new grille lights. The check engine and TRAC OFF lights came on after. All the codes it threw were for the MAF. I fiddled with the fuse a little. Seems like the fuse wasnt in tight enough. After securing it down tigher, the lights went off. Hope this helps someone.

    I would tap into a less critical fuse to power up some grill lights.

    Why the EFI circuit? I would pick something a little less critical also...

    You may want to rethink that circuit as it will power up on its own when the truck is off... Read this tread:
