Redarc BCDC help

[MSFTMatt]

Got my REDARC BCDC 1225 all wired up. I transferred this over from last truck. It seems to not be detecting the starter/vehicle. I’ve got solid lights on SOLAR/SURGE/LIPO, but nothing on tbe vehicle led regardless if running or not. I used a ‘add a fuse’ to the heated seats fuse and they still work. What’s the issue? Is heated seats not a good ignition fuse to jump on? I basically copied my last truck and grounded everything to 1 ground as REDARC says. Any help would be great.

For shits and giggles, start the JT and turn the heated seats on.
I don't think that circuit is powered UNTIL the button(s) is/are pushed.

If you have factory Aux switches, you have a switched lead and always hot lead in the cab, passenger side footwell.

Or, I used F52 (I think that's right) for add-a-cicuit and that's the 12V in the dash, and that's ignition powered ( or ACC too)

You have heated seats?

No change with heated seats on or off. I’m thinking my in-line fuse might be bad, maybe. I’ve ordered a new one to test that theory. I’ve got power before the fuse but not after.

I saw your post a few days ago but was not able to get to my Gladiator to help with pictures..
Here is where I installed a piggy back fuse for my BCDC 1240…

There is a guy who works for Redarc and posts on Overland Bound. He was the one who suggested doing what I did and it has worked flawlessly for the past several years.
