Need switched power from fuse panel??

dadztoy · June 22, 2021

I need a switched fuse to power an added air compressor for the air bags. After going through the fuse panel under the hood, all the open fuse locations are dead. With the truck running or not??? The spare locations per the diagram on the cover shows the OPEN ones, but they are not powered.

??????????????? HELP?????????????

You need to get a micro fuse tap and use position 40

All of the circuits that show as "SPARE" on the list, are all dead. Needing one that is switched and 20 amp, didn't leave a whole lot of choices.... In your pic, it looks like your using circuit #39..... in mine, that one is dead, switch on or off. Is this correct??? Do you have another pic ? One showing the tap itself?

I'm using position 40 for my compressor with a 10 amp fuse and no problems for 2 months so far.

On the passenger side fuse box there is a 50 amp fuse. Swap side with it and tie into in in the new location......................it will then be switched power.........................RR
