Is it safe to put in the fuse box in the engine compartment or did you do it in the cab?

I did my hook-up in the fusebox in the engine compartment.

What type of fuse tap? Mini? Atc? Ats?

Micro 2

What amp? Or volt

This is what I used

A Better Option - Same Idea of Tap is this
Do not know if any cheaper options are out there, but found a better alternative to the blade tap damaging the fuse box contacts
So, to use this (properly) install the fuse (Power Leg - Most Forward) and then install a (In-Line) fuse on the wire for your output source.
Note: You can easily make your own with a soldering iron and wire, this set they have done that for you.

I discuss the Fuse Tap locations (switched power) in the BJB - Battery Junction Box.
The 2 most popular locations and some newly learned information about - Fuse Taps & Orientation as for using an alternate fuse tap design at location of Fuse #19, please watch the attached video in that post. With you having a 2020- you may have Fuse #24 installed, this is the BEST place for a tap, unfortunately somewhere in the 2020 production that fuse was removed along with the internal contacts in the BJB, so just a blank empty hole, the alternative option is Fuse #19, but the design of the popular taps - DO NOT ALLOW proper orientation of the tap to function as its intended.
It does work, however it serves the same function as if you were to (wire splice) into the circuit and it does not provide (2-Seperate) fused power sources.
Again, this is something I recently learned about the design and with the high number of members on here who use Fuse #19, no one has reported issues that have been determined (proven) to be the Fuse Tap as a root cause.

This is fuse 24 correct? I have it....

This is fuse 24 correct? I have it....

Yes

 

[Ranger3]

Yes

Ok so it came with 10 AM fuses so I pull out the correct fuse put this in then do I put two 10 amp fuses in the ports and then splice the wire and then crimp it into this?

 

[Ranger3]

Yes

So how do I hook this in this light bar has two wires, a black and a red. How do I put it into this?

So it's all wired up. But I had to splice the red into it and I have to ground the black wire to the frame ...any suggestions? How about the battery ground?

 

[airline tech]

Yes that spot is fine for the Ground (or any body clean body ground will do)- I would not have spliced the harness as you had a connector included in the kit - Like This

I would have cut the pigtail off of this T-Harness then used it to wire the lights or just purchased this one and have the (kitted one as a spare).
