    I am having trouble locating one. My truck has a push to start & I thought the radio fuse would work, however it seemed like that was always on. I will check the power port fuse.

    I believe the radio is always drawing a little bit of power to keep the clock running and your radio presets saved.

    The INJ fuse has worked well for me so far.

    I will give that a try shortly. I am hoping this will take care of it though!

    Well, using the INJ fuse worked perfectly. Though I do, tbh, have concerns with loading it into the fuel injector fuses... I think it will be fine! I just wish there was another fuse that was a little less catastrophic if it goes bad.

    So looks like hlp is about the only way to go where the panel turns off with the truck.

    I wired mine through to come on with my headlights. Good idea so they aren't always on while you're driving in daylight, unless that's what you want.

    With the add a fuse connected to the 10amp ETCS it doesn’t have that problem that the lights will randomly come on when truck is off? I want to set up mine running while truck is on but I don’t wanna mess with the fuel injectors or ignition fuses. I tried connecting into power outlet fuse but wires aren’t long enough.

    So I had plugged mine into the INJ fuse just as well, ran without issue for a year. One of the lights/connections was faulty and tripping the breaker... Shutting down my truck while driving and not being able to start again. 20 mins of internet searching and I tried the INJ fuse back to normal config, starts up and we are good to go. Removed the add-a-fuse and relocated it to the headlights fuse. One of the lights was flickering, took care of that by removing it, but it was strange.

    Just a word of caution if you choose to use the INJ fuse. Could be a potential safety hazard.
