Fuse Box

Got a question on fuse #12 TURN & HAZ - am I overlooking something obvious or is this fuse always receiving power? I tried to add-a-fuse for a small led and it was always lit up, even if the key was out of the ignition.

Thanks all

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought hazards are setup to work even if the vehicle is off such as on the side of the road so it would make sense that it's always hot. What are you rigging up a led for? I've got several led switches in my truck that are on 24/7 and don't drain any battery life

 

I’m not sure on the 3rd gens but on my Tacoma I had an empty slot that had power, not labeled and not being used. I used this for my PA speaker piggy back fuse. Hopefully I’m right and there’s just an empty slot somewhere in the fuse box not being used.

If you plan on putting a lot of accessories, save yourself time and money and wire a separate fuse box. Much more organized and easy to add new circuits.

 

Just some low power grill lights. I suspect I'll have to tap into the side marker harness or headlight fuse like most folks - was just hoping their was an easy option with the add-a-fuse that allowed them to turn on with the DRLs

 

Add-a-fuse on the cab fuse box to the TAIL fuse. Route one wire to the LED's. No cutting into the side marker (TAILS) wires.

 

Thank you! I knew I was overlooking something obvious
