need help with the fuse box...

[jaeggernaut]

i'm installing the f150 LED aux switch panel https://www.f150leds.com/products/2021-2023-ford-bronco-led-aux-switch-panel
and in the instructions it asks me to take this blue 15A fuse, because it's a switch fuse that only powers when the engine is running, and use their fuse tap. but as you can see in the photo, i have a fuse tap already right beside it taking up the space next to the blue fuse... ie. there is no space for the f150 LED fuse tap.

any idea where else I can put this fuse tap? or move the existing fuse tap and put it somewhere else (if you know what that fuse is for and know where there is an equivalent fuse). I'm not very electrically literate. the only thing I know about electricity is i hate it when i get zapped.

thanks in advance.

What's the other fuse tap for?

Obviously not OEM, so it's gotta be for some other aftermarket accessory.

Looks like you tapped 21 before (spare) and it's wanting you to tap 26 (Trans Control Module) for switched power

Try Fuse 25 - it's a 10A switched power for BLIS/Rear View camera and should give you plenty of clearance

(also, you may wanna re-run your wire a bit, the lid on the fuse holder is seriously crimping the wire you got and it could cut/fail on you -- if you don't want to drill a hole or cut a notch check out something like the Mabett fuse cover)

I see that you're pinching the wire, something like THIS may help:

Replaces the cover and gives a pass-thru.

Thanks guys!
- embarrassingly, I can’t remember what that other fuse tap goes to. I tried to follow the wires but it was dark and I gave up pretty easily.
- I’ll try 25. Thx @Brian_B
- found the Mabett cover last night while trying to find a solution to my problem. But with the new distribution box of the new aux switch panel installed so close to the factory fuse box.. need to recheck clearance. Wish I knew about that earlier.
