Any fuse I can use other than F52?

[tonywin]

Im looking at getting a Voswitch and all the instructions I’m seeing are is to tap into fuse 52.

The problem having is I already tapped into F52 for my oracle halos. Do I have any other options ?

if you dont have heated seats, this might work for you.

Or you could do it the old-fashioned way, and run a separate fuse right off the battery.
I have three circuits like that already, plus a fuse tap (or two.)
This will, of course, provide unswitched power…

How much power does that part of your switch array need? Is this just for the switch part, or is this for anything that they power - I'm not familiar with those......
If you don't need mega power - if this is just for an inside panel and the real meat and power draw is under the hood, you can get a cable that allows you to pull power off the 12v outlet in the dash.
It's sort of an extension cable but has a "tap" with a fuse that allows you to use the power going to the 12v outlet to power something else.

Thanks everyone. I’m not an electrical guy and glad to see there are options.

I went through this as I don't like to use of fuse taps. As SP has mentioned you can get a harness that plugs into the cigarette lighter (Aux 12 volt) harness at the cigarette lighter that will give you a connector for the low amp Voswitch 12 volt connection. This also maintains the circuit to the cigarette lighter.

For the Halo's if you have the fourth wire at the headlamp (LED lighting) you can use this for the Halo's. This requires the halo circuit to be activated. If you don't have the fourth wire either use one of the circuits from the Voswitch or the fuse tap for the Halo.s

This is for a wire that goes to the main control box under the hood, which is why they provide and recommend a fuse tap - it's going to be the easiest option. This is combined with the proper dip switch settings to make the switches controlled by ignition - so all you really need is to find another ACC based fuse.

Is F52 switched or constant? Looking to see which slots are what to power a camera setup, need both

F52 is constant. I ended up using the fuse for heated power seats. That is switched and only comes on in the run position. I can’t remember the fuse number off the top of my head.

I don’t have heated seats and it still works on that fuse.

Thanks brother. Checked and found for switched power:

F57 - Drivers heated seat 20A - yellow
F58 - Passenger heated seat 20A - yellow

Constant:

F52 - Cig lighter 20A - yellow

If you have aux switches there is a fused always hot and ign hot wire under the dash. I am assuming this is just to provide a signal to your switch control box? But that wire under the dash is fused at I believe 10a. Should be plenty. Thats what I did to provide a 12v signal for the switch pros, genesis, and DC/Dc charger

Factory lighter/12 volt outlet is acc/ign and not constant. I use that for my plow control and Christmas wreath.
I wanted to save the aux leads in the cabin for the future since i already had a fused tap/extension for my 12v outlet.
