Meth kit fuse tap

methkingM2C · 09-16-2021, 05:44 PM

Which 12V fuse do I tap into for my Snow Performance stage 2.5 meth kit controller?

Also I'm going to use my battery as the ground, cool?

08 - its for - Front & rear cigarette lighter, 12V socket / Glove box charging socket (12V) according to link below. might be OK?

But the pump would need 10-11 amps , 12V. I think lighter fuse is only 5amps. So not ideal.

I'm sure there are peeps with the f87 fuse box who already tapped it. Where y'all at!

This vid has some info that might help. Check at the minute and a half mark. He goes into detail of power hookup(s). F30 is very similar to ours.

I would run power wire from battery for the pump. lighter fuse for the ignition signal.

Power is from controller, signal and pump power. Based on the post above I can just the fuse tap on a 15amp fuse and port# was provided. I'll try that , let's hope I don't blow any controller

Are you installing a solenoid with your kit? Those check valves suck and do tend to leak with time.

Yeah solenoid required with trunk install. Never had a leak issue in my 3 years with the previous check valve + solenoid setup. Forget which fuse I used for wiring
