Add a circuit...

[chuckwi11]

I looked everyplace yesterday for an "add a circuit" for the 2014s. I found ATO and ATM but could not find any for ATK or the three bladed ATM size fuses. I was trying to hard wire my radar detector to the fuse box and ended up pushing a pin/wire in the back of the driver's side fuse box X3 plug... didn't want to cut and splice so that was my best option.

 

Anyone have any luck finding add a circuit for the new trucks?

you might find what you are looking for in the upfitter manual for your truck , you can find it here https://www.gmupfitter.com/files/media/photo/474/2014%20BBM%20Electrical%20section_10_18_2013_WIP.pdf

I have the manual that's how I decided which wire/plug to back wire... was looking for something like this...

 

 

This is an ATM/mini fuse size, they also make them in ATO/regular fuse size... the 2014 trucks have ATK.micro fuses and a 3 bayonet ATM sized fuse that I have yet to find in any auto parts store. Was hoping someone on here had found either an add a circuit for the ATK or the three bayonet fuse. I'm set for now but would like a better option when I try to install additional USB connectors in the overhead for the GoPro dash cam.

I'm guessing you don't want 50 of them but is this the part you need?

I don't think that will work either... the three bayonet fuses appear to be double fused... if you look in the fuse panel it will list them as "HVAC/ALDX HVAC IGN (15A/15A)"

 

These micro fuses are something I haven't seen in anything other than 2014s

 

Just found this chart... Micro 2 and Micro 3 fuses... and the designations are ATR and ATL

I ran into that exact same issue with the fuse size when I was adding a radar detector and a remote turn-on for my stereo. I ended up buying an ATM Mini add-a-fuse/circuit and trimming the metal spades down to the size of the micro fuses used in the 2014 trucks. I was a little nervous about making a messy cut or amputating the tiny little spades of the add-a-fuse, but it went pretty easily with a pair of aviation snips and a little filling to clean it up. I did buy a spare in case I messed up my 1st attempt, but didn't need it.

Guy's there is wiring already prewired to the connector block under the dash up by the brake pedal, check out this thread since it would already have a fuse so nothing to worry about to purchase.
