    Hey All,

    I have a Rigid Ignite that i have set up to a set of Cali Raised Bed Stiffeners and i want power it but i am a little lost on how to get a wiring harness up to the Blue Sea Fuse panel in the engine, or if there is a Constant 12 Volt Source in that back of the truck that i can tap in to. The light is wired through a marine toggle switch in the bed. The Ignite Series Lights are Rated at 12W, so they only pull 1A or less depending on voltage potential provided so im not too concerned with run length or drawing off of another circuit, the light will not be used while im drive
    I tried the search function but all i found was constant to the trailer harness, any guidance would be very much appreciated. Cheers.

    Run a wire up the driver frame rail to the battery (in loom if you like), connect to the battery with a fuse. You can either run a ground to the frame back there, or run the ground to the battery too. I use an 8 gauage wire then split it behind the driver taillamp for my Dometic, Blue Sea panel, and bed lights.

    i was working on this yesterday and have got stuck at the gas tank, is there a trick for routing the loom down the frame past the tank?

    Run it above it, and zip tie it to what you can.
