Video Transcript for Review of the Firestone Fuse Circuit Tap Kit
Today we're going to take a look at the Firestone Fuse Circuit Tap Kit, part number is F2526. Our fuse circuit tap kit allows us to use an existing fuse in our fuse panel to draw power off of for additional accessories. This is going to save us the hassle of splicing into our factory wiring harnesses. Essentially what it's going to allow us to do, choose the fuse we're going to use, this is our tail light circuit fuse, I'm going to pull that out, it's going to go in the bottom slot. You can see I've already installed our other 10 amp fuse on the top, that's going to create a fuse for this wire. We've got our normal fuse circuit here, and an additional fuse circuit here where we will be able to get our power. This circuit tap comes with several sizes, you've got a 10, a 20, and a 30 amp fuse that you can pick from.
You want to get that slid down in and then it's just a matter of connecting our 12 volt wire right there. Then all we'll have to do is crimp it down. Now with our fuse circuit tap kit installed you'll see we've got full power to our accessory, allowing it to illuminate any time we turn on our running lights. That will complete today's installation of the Firestone Fuse Circuit Tap Kit, part number F2526.

After watching etrailer's video, I purchased this item with the ETBC7 kit. Worked as it should. I routed the wiring a little different so I didn't have to cut the fuse case cover. The price is more than others but I didn't care. Their video alone was worth paying the difference in price.

This fuse tap made getting power from a switched power source relatively easy. I used it to provide power from a fuse that was hot with the ignition switch in the accessory or run position so that the solenoid for my trailer wiring and trailer brake controller would be hot whenever the switch was in either of those two positions. I picked a fuse for an item that wouldn't normally have a high demand current so that adding the solenoid wouldn't overload the fuse or the circuit. The final installation of the fuse tap was made in the engine compartment fuse box of my 2001 Toyota Tundra. The wire coming off the fuse tap was just barely long enough for my installation but worked out fine once I moved the solenoid closer. The whole setup has been working without any issues for a year now even though I only occasionally tow the trailer. The solenoid is powered every time I drive the truck and I've had no blown fuses!

The customer service at etrailer is awesome. When I discovered that I had ordered the wrong fuse circuit I sent a note via their website asking for help. They got back to me right away and helped me find the correct part. They also sent me clear instructions on how to return the original part. I'll be ordering from etrailer again and again I'm sure.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would have to give etrailer customer service an 11+. This item was out of stock when the order was placed. I received several emails as to the progress of my order. They even offered the option of canceling my order. The product was as advertised when it arrived. I have used etrailer before and plan to use it again in the future.

All is great. The level of service at etrailer takes me back to the sixties. I ordered the wrong ball for the draw bar I selected. Someone called from etrailer almost immediately and straightened everything out. Even with my mess up I got the order in two shipping days! Great company, great service, great prices, and unbelievable array of products...not even mentioning the incredible help and information available on line. I wish we could clone these guys.

- Circuit Suggestion for Tapping Fuse for Install of Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor SystemI can only recommend you go with the same amperage rating as what is called for in the install instructions of the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25980 that you are installing. Since you want to use a circuit that only sees voltage when the key is on the radio fuse is a common one that is used. You have to go with the same voltage though as too high may cause damage to the compressor and too low would cause the fuse to blow all the time. I attached an...
view full answer... - Recommended Transmission Cooler with Fan for 2012 Chevy SuburbanI spoke with my contact at Derale and he said that your 2012 model Chevy Suburban 1500 uses 1/2 inch transmission lines so the Derale Hyper-Cool Transmission Cooler # D13960 won't be the best option. For your Suburban you will instead want the Derale Hyper-Cool # D15960 which is essentially the same cooler with fan but designed to work with the 1/2 inch lines. An adapter isn't needed as the compression fitting that comes included with this cooler should work perfectly. A transmission...

There is no reason that you can't just use the upfitter switch in your Ford F-250 to connect the power of the Custom 3rd Brake Light Camera # 3460006 instead of installing a new switch. I've linked an installation video we did that you can use as a reference, as well.

The dash fuse box, called the BCM or body control module is located under the passenger side of the dash behind the kick panel below the glove box. The brake light (CHMSL) wire you need is located in...

Then the bottom two are going to be your in and out pins which will connect to your universal solenoid. For ground, just take a self tapper and connect it to the frame somewhere. The power I would use a fuse tap # F2526 to tap into your ignition fuse in your control panel. Which if you don't already have them, we have spade connectors # DW01899-1 and wiring # 16-1-1 if you needed it. This...

This is our most popular brake controller because it is easy to set up and operate. You will need to find the wiring under the dash of your Safari and hardwire the brake controller. I have attached a helpful article that explains how this is done. I do recommend using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 when working with the wiring to make sure you know the function of each wire. To install the P2 you will need to locate...

- Running Lights Relay On 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 For TrailerThe fuse box location and the actual spot in the fuse box where the running light fuse is located will depend on the year, make and model of your vehicle. Assuming that you have a 2014 Dodge Ram 2500, I pulled up a copy of your owners manual online and it looks like The Power Distribution Center is located in the engine compartment near the battery. This center contains cartridge fuses, micro fuses, relays, and circuit breakers. A description of each fuse and component may be stamped on...
view full answer... - Can You Get Third Brake Light and 12 Volt Power For Camper Shell From 7-Way Trailer ConnectorOn a 7-Way trailer connector, the brake lights and turn signals are combined on the same circuit so you cannot tap into the wiring there for a third brake light. If you did, the third brake light would blink with the turn signal. Normally if you follow the wiring harness back (towards the front of the vehicle) you may find additional wires that you can test with a circuit tester like # PTW2979 if needed to see if there is a third brake light wire there. You can also use the stop light...
view full answer... - Where to Tap Into the Reverse Light Wire on a 2012 Honda Odyssey for a 5-Way Trailer ConnectorNormally what you would do is remove the tail light assembly that contains the reverse lights and test the wires for the reverse light circuit and tap in there. I have also heard that the reverse light circuit can be tapped into at the fuse panel inside the vehicle, under the hood, or in a wiring harness behind the driver side front kick panel. You would need to use the owners manual to determine where the fuse is for the reverse lights. If you tap in there you can use a fuse tap like...
view full answer... - Right Turn Signal Not Working on Trailer Towed by 2014 Ram 1500The first thing I'd recommend you do is to check the trailer connector on the truck using a circuit tester like # PTW2993. The blade in the 3:00 position should show power when the right turn signal is activated and brake pedal. If you do get a signal on this pin, the problem is in the trailer wiring. The right turn circuit on a trailer is usually a green wire that you can trace from the trailer connector on back, looking for pinched wires or loose connections. You'll also want to check...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Allow Tow Vehicle Battery to Charge Trailer Battery While DrivingYou may be able to use the existing 12V feed at the back of your truck to charge your trailer battery while driving but you will need to install a battery isolation solenoid to disconnect this line when the tow vehicle is off. Otherwise your trailer battery could drain the battery in the tow vehicle. You will also want to ensure that you are using a wire gauge heavy enough to pass the charging current to the trailer battery; 10-gauge would be the minimum. You can use part # PK5231201...

Instead you will need a Fuse Circuit Tap # F2526 that will allow you to get power from a fuse(Auxiliary Stop Lamp Fuse) in the engine compartment fuse panel. You can see this process in the video that I linked below.

They are blunt cut wires with the following colors; black for ground, red/white for 12 volt power, dark blue for brake output, and light blue for stop light circuit. If your 2013 GMC Savana 2500...

There is a very simple solution for you available to correct this issue and get the brake signal that you need. You can simply use a Firestone Fuse Circuit Tap Kit part # F2526 and connect it in the fuse box located in the driver's under hood area. You will use a grommet already in the firewall of your Express to pass the wire through and make you connection. I've included a video my buddy Rob...

What's interesting about the Ram trucks like yours is that they do not use traditional fuses like other vehicles. The circuit protection is through the TIPM of the truck. The only way to reset the circuit is to take the truck to a dealer and let them do it.

In order not to drain your vehicle battery, I recommend you use the Battery Isolation Solenoid # PK5231201 to only allow the trailer to draw power when the vehicle is running. You will need to use an ignition-controlled circuit in your truck to activate the solenoid. The radio circuit...

- Can Fuse Tap be Used to Acquire Brake Signal for Brake Controller Install of 2017 Toyota HighlanderYes, you can use a fuse tap like the part # F2526 to tap into the stoplight circuit of the vehicle for a dedicated brake signal for installing a brake controller.

- Where to Access Brake Light Switch Signal on 1995 Chevrolet C/K Series PickupYou can use any access point to the brake light circuit on your truck as the activation signal for a trailer brake controller. Usually the brake pedal's brake light switch (the cold side of it) is the preferred way to get an electrical brake signal for triggering the controller. Sometimes on newer vehicles a 3rd brake light's wiring can be easier to find. Often the wire at the brake switch you need is white, but it can be yellow on some model year.
