2015 Raptor Lights Wiring Fuse Help!

So I’ve installed raptor lights and the wiring harness, and I grounded the black to the battery ground, and I cannot for the life of me get a fuse that isn’t hot all the time to have the lights turn on with my engine. I did however manage to trip every check engine/etc light to come on inside the truck. So first, I’m a little worried. Second someone please tell me which fuse to connect it to. At least I did part of it correctly because the lights come on if I plug it into a hot fuse. There is very little information on the internet about 2015s specifically, and my maintenance manual seems to be no help. Plugged in currently to the radio fuse plug 13. Which IMO feels like it shouldn’t be live all the time but seems to be anyways.

 

There is no suitable fuse under the hood to tap into, they are all hot at all times with the exception of the EFI No 2 fuse but it can power up when the truck is off when the EVAP test runs.

The only fuses that are switched with the key are in the interior fuse box.

 

So question, can I wire it to the EFI fuse and then just be ok with them coming on randomly sometimes but most of the time they will be off? Or is that an essential fuse being used for something else.

 

I mean I suppose you could but I can't say I recommend it.

 

This one is a 4 cyl though, only the V6 has that wire.

 

I thought it was a V6.
Well, maybe the tail fuse in the cabin and an Add-a-Fuse.

 

Very helpful! Thank you!

 

Looks like a 4cyl to me.

 

Ohh yeah it’s not a V6

 

the link I posted above won't help you.
you have a 4 cylinder.

 

Yeah the intake gives it away.

 

Deleted my post above to clear up confusion for future readers.

 

I can always take it to my guy at the garage, I am not too proud to admit defeat haha

 

I did it myself.
Refresh your browser, my post with the link should be gone.

 

It "could" be used as a trigger to a relay. This will still have them turn when leak test runs, but the source would be a trigger to an added fused relay to power the added lamps at IGN ON.

 

That's exactly what the instructions that came with my raptor lights said to use.

 

Absolutely. Ive had my switchpro rigged up on that fuse for years with no consequence. Had raptor lights before that.

 

Dude..me too! Last night I installed raptor lights on my 2014 and I tripped some dash lights.

Everything seems to be working normally but it's nerve racking to see so many dash lights.

You are right, there is absolutely no clear instructions for our 2.5 gens. Nothing here or on youtube.

Someone help!

 

I have mine connected into that lone red 10 fuse towards the bottom right of your fuse box photo.

Raptor lights came with a 15 fuse on the top and I added that 10 into the open slot.

Maybe the 15 needs to be swapped for another 10?
