    Hello Everyone,

    was having some troubles with the add a fuse on my auxbeam switch. I watched a video of someone installing it and he plugged it into the fuel pump slot on the fuse box and it works fine. When I plug it in there, it doesn’t work. I tested the add a fuse directly to the battery and it works that way but I get no luck when I plug it into the fusebox. Please let me know what stupid mistake I’m making, it’s driving me mad.

    does your add-a-fuse model match the length and style of the fuse you're replacing? they make many models, some of which might appear the same from one angle, but have protrusions in another direction that prevent full electrical contact.

    is your fuse good?

    are you inserting it the correct way into the fuse location?

    I figured it out, I’m dumb as hell and didn’t think it needed a second fuse on the add a fuse. Put one in and it worked as advertised.
