Raptor Lights AAF Question

Picked up a set and it came with an AAF with two 5 amp fuses already in place. When hooking up to the DRL which is already a 10amp fuse, do I just plug and play or do I need to replace one of 5 amps with a 10 on the AAF?

 

Is that the right size add a fuse? My 2019 are smaller. I'd think you need a ten though.

 

And the DRL fuse is ALWAYS energized...

 

Even when the truck is off?

 

Only when you remove the battery, then it's OFF.

 

Its a kit specific to our trucks.

 

So why are the drls off when the truck is off?

 

It's the wrong size

 

Because...there's a relay between the HOT fuse and the DRL's. This relay (switch) controls when the DRL get turned ON or OFF. The relay gets input power to two pins in the DRL relay. Another pin on the relay sends power to the DRL, and the remaining pin (total of 4) gets controlled by the Main Body ECU. (-)

 

Ill check tonight but they’re pretty small. My picture may make them seem larger.

So am I forced to tap them with the headlights?

 

Nope, all depends when you choose to have them ON: with IGN, (ON when vehicle ON, OFF when vehicle OFF); With Parking/Tail circuit; With Headlights. On a switch for OFF when you need them OFF. Tied to IGN when ON, and tied to Hazard Buzzer or Turn Signals when OFF.

 

The fuses in the 3rd Gen are mini low profile. That one won’t work. At least all of the fuses I’ve ever seen in it are mini low profile

 

Guess ill have to get a new aaf then. Weird though alot of user reviews have nothing but positive things to say about it.

 

I’ve got a few extra laying around but it would probably cost more to mail one to you than for you to buy one. Lol
