Nut size for those outer studs? they look different

Following. What nut size do those outer 2 positive terminals take?

I'm gonna guess it's a fuse for the BMS maybe?
If you pulled it... Start up your truck and go for a spin, see if any codes come up
As for the rest of the posts, they're there for putting fusable accessories on...meaning YOU have to ensure the conductors are protected with a fuse for that particular accessory.

The 3A fuse is a power supply for the battery monitoring sensor

Some of the earlier posts in this thread, including one of mine, were based on the implication that that fuse was to the terminal nearest it. On seeing your post, and on looking back at the picture early in this thread, I think that premise was most likely incorrect.

Your explanation seems entirely plausible, and it now seems that it's position near one of the terminals is merely coincidence.

Any luck on this?

I haven't had time to work on stuff yet but this is what I heard from another thread...

Seems bigger one is M6 (6mm) and smaller one is M5 (5mm) but I havne't confirmed that yet. I still need to figure it out and go to {insert big box store name here} and buy a couple to try them out.

I just put an M6 1.0 on the one furthest from the 3A fuse. The stuff closest is smaller (M6 was too big) agreed its about an M5.

Just to confirm, M6 and M5

 

[RynoRanger]

Yeah sorry forgot to update this but yeah M5 & M6. I found what I needed at Ace Hardware. Got nylon insert flange nuts for both battery studs and one for a bolt I sent through that open hole on the negative terminal bracket. Here's a pic I took of that setup.
I didn't need the M6 (left) stud on the battery but just threw a nut on there too for someday when I might need one.

Thank you for posting. I was just hunting this down.

I used that terminal setup to wire the power for my sub amp. Works great. I'm glad Ford was being nice here and gave us the extra posts to add accessories.

Also, as I was running the power wire down the kick panels on the left of the Bronco, they were awesome enough to leave me a random nut in there. It fit perfectly on that terminal. Thanks ford. They also left me a random bolt in the back hatch area under the panel.

I used those two terminals for my ARB dual compressor. Works great and I'm glad they were there!

Do any of them turn off when the Bronco’s off? That’d be ultra smart/convenient

while I don't know 100%, i'm fairly certain they don't - seems they're all bridged
