Please everyone watch the updated video czcams.com/video/2xMHKCFwx7Q/video.html it’s a cleaner way to install the panel
Big thanks to you guys. I’m a noob when it comes to wiring. This video helped me wire up some new lights on my Tacoma today. I knew I had to get around the relay, so I wouldn’t have to use their switch. I wasn’t 100% sure on how to do that, but this video helped me answer my questions and probably saved me a couple hundred bucks by not taking it to a shop.
Thanks for watching and supporting :)
You can always watch this updated video on it as well to make it even a cleaner install czcams.com/video/2xMHKCFwx7Q/video.html
Mate, just put the original fuse back in and use something like a 5a on the add a fuse.
The only thing the add a fuse is doing is turning on a relay so the circuits aren't always on.
A relay switch uses less than .5 of an amp. By using fuses that are rated higher than the original you are basically leaving those circuits unprotected.
The fuse needs to be the weakest link of a circuit. You can't use a fuse work more capacity with weak wiring. Otherwise your wiring becomes the fuse and it can catch fire while your fuse could be reused.
Hi guys,some else also posted that the add a fuse is completely separate from the original fuse that you tapped into for the power for the aux box.So the original fuse needs to be on the bottom of the add a fuse,than only a 5 Amp fuse is needed for the aux box.
I can't believe people are saying this is the best install video on Y/T.
Just picked up that keypad adaptor last month in order to tame the spaghetti mess of lighting wiring in my bay. I wasn't about to drop a mortgage payment on a Switch Pro (even if it's more streamlined). The Auxmod has a IP68 rating so that should give you some peace of mind where waterproofing is concerned. Personally, I like the adaptive design of this product, also you can find wiring grommet material to help seal the exposed connections at your local HD, Lowes, or Ace.
That’s going to make the fuse panel a lot more difficult to service. For the next one maybe consider a separate panel that keeps your service headache free? An RTMR is a great choice.
That’s why you have to leave slack, another route is just running a extension so adding wire to that red one and connecting it with a add a fuse inside the cab that would be the best way to do it
I don’t know about replacing the smaller fuses in the box for a greater fuse that’s one way to overload, but the wirings is good👍🏻.
Thanks for watching :)
Thank youuu! This is the best auxbeam/taco install video out there. Nobody else's install videos describe exactly which fuse to tap into - I find that part super confusing and so that was VERY helpful. Though on the 2019 taco that 2nd one you ended up using is for the fog lights. Still works! I may eventually move that to the headlight fuse but I use all of them at the same time anyways so no biggy there. Curious how you ran the cable out of the fuse box, I ended up having to do a little drilling in the fuse box lid to accommodate the wire coming out
Thanks, came to see how wire passed through firewall😂
Thanks for posting this. I'm almost done installing mine and forgot about the accessory wire and was scratching my head so this vid was helpful. But between you having the version that has circuit connections on both sides and mounting on top of your fuse panel, it's going to be a rats nest of wires there once you start adding more connections to it and the more connections there are, the harder it will be to get into the fuse box
Thanks for watching and yea man I realized it after LOL I’ll be making a updated video here soon I got there new version so the box is a lot cleaner as well
@@JesseRizo yeah the newest version of it is awesome. I mounted mine using one of the threaded holes where I assume the master cylinder mounts in manual tacomas. I wish mine was manual but unfortunately the trail edition isn't offered in it. Only benefit is now I have a super clean mounting spot for the new fuse panel lol
Jesus Christ! You two are very intelligent. Hands down this is the best how-to video on CZcams. Others may know more than you but you know how to teach. Ive wathed hundreds of DIY videos on CZcams and thru are all very frustrating. Thank you both very much!
Running 4 tacos panel ftw
czcams.com/video/2xMHKCFwx7Q/video.html
Lol I mentioned that one on my new video I remade lol
great video guys. come up great. You've inspired me. I'd look at how much current that add a fuse us drawing, 20a seems a bit large for those circuits. don't want to burn out a cable in case of a fault. Remember fuses protect the cables, not the load. Cable size is determined by the load. Lastly i'd have the fuse supplying the box as close to the battery as possible.
thanks for the overall support and watching the video.
I agree, you need to go with a lower rated fuse on the ACC fuse tap. That circuit is only needed to provide power to the panel glow and switching the relays. I’d guess less than 5amps. You could use a multimeter to check current draw with everything on and size a more appropriate fuse. 20amps is way too large for that wiring and if it does short out may burn something.
Ran into a problem when doing mine. Not sure if its realted.
Added fuse to the lights just like these guys. Ran through firewall, up the a pillar, everything works on the switch. I dont have accessories yet, this was in preparation for those coming soon.
I kept the amperage on the fuse the same, and the add a fuse is a 5. Fuses are all fine.
But what suddenly possibly just by awful coincidence does not work... is the 3rd brake light is out. And on the dash: travtion control light, abs light, collision warning, and cruise control does not work.
Checked fuses under dash and in engine bay, cant find anything wrong there. I do not think the installation caused any problems, after all the fuse we tied into, headlights, is fine and the lights work just fine. During troubleshooting i put the original fuse back and removed the add a fuse, essentially bringing it back to "stock", and no change on the dash and with brake light.
If you have all your light on and then you turn off your vehicle and the you turn the vehicle back on the lights will be on even you haven't press the on button in the switch panel?
Hi, this switch panel are rated ip68 , is full waterproof. Thas what Auxbeam writes on website and they make review on it..
Should be mines gotten wet a lot of times and still works perfectly
@@JesseRizo this winter I m gonna add this panel switch. Keep on you re great job 👍
Which fuse did you tap into and does the switch go off with the ignition? Thanks.
I remade the video and put the wire in a different better location czcams.com/video/2xMHKCFwx7Q/video.html
Check this one out instead please
I saw a video where they submerged the panel in a fish tank and actuated the lights so there may be corrosion at the exposed sections of wire but everything still worked.
Quick question out of the blue. When installing the raptor lights for the add a fuse I put it on the head lights location which is 10 amps should I run the secondary fuse at a higher amp? Just curious
Never use a fuse rated higher than the original installed fuse. The fuse protects the wiring not the device. A too high fuse may mean than the wiring will catch fire and the fuse won't blow.
Yo Jesse, this might be a stupid mod but a garage door opener would be a dope install. I park my truck outside and need to open my garage but I do not wanna leave my garage door opener in the car. I don't know why Tacomas don't have them already.
My 2021 has a garage door opener. It actually has three. I can use one for the gate, one for the garage door and have a third as an extra.
Nice video. I'm installing this in a 2015 Jeep tomorrow. Wiring front and rear lockers and a few sets of off-road lights to mine. Only concern I have about the Auxbeam switch panel is the lack of waterproofing on the panel under the hood. I might try some aftermarket waterproofing of that panel sometime.
How do you wire in the lights for backlight feature?
This seems hard af lmao anybody know a good place in LA that does wiring like this?
Check out the updated video czcams.com/video/2xMHKCFwx7Q/video.htmlsi=KTaYy08-E7Gwnwlb
Nice vid.. but im to lazy to go through all my toggle switch wires and redoing it all. But i do plan on doing this since i need more room for more lights
You should look into the new model they have out. RGB 8
I have it 🙌 just havnt had the chance to put the video lol
For the ditch lights, did you Y them together into a single positive/negative wires going to the switch panel?
That’s correct
You said when the video being we can connect this separate with the computer it’ll be more difficult can you tell how I have some issues with my computer I even change the Alternator thanks
Very Good video job and a lot of information thank you
what amp fuses did u use for each type of light?
So I have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma my truck does not have the towing package, Where would I put the tap in fuse. ? Or should follow the diagram and put it in the empty slot where the towing fuse should be and put the 30 amp fuse there for acc?
is the the side of the ORIGINAL FUSE matter because the add a fuse spikes both dont go to both on the second fuse
Do you think there’s anyway I could use a blue sea marine grade fuse block with the aux beam controller? Also how has it held up?
lol no in trhe auxbeam fuse bloack is also solid state relays called IGBT
Just got mine installed. All went well except for my rock lights lol.
I'm starting to think I snipped the wrong wires. 😕 🤦♂️
Great video yall. I'm about to do this instal myself.
Thank you man and for the fuse box the Auxbeam comes with a bracket for the fuse box so you can actually mount it to the body instead of the factory fuse box like I did it’ll be safer that way
@@JesseRizo good to know. I was planning to look for an alternative. Thank you for the info.
Do you know where I can find some information on how to go about knowing what lights to connect to what relay?
How has the switch panel hold up I heard some negative reviews I actually got one but I wanted to know how yours has held up after this install?
So far it’s still holding up it’s gotten wet 😅 it’s gotten dusty as hell and still working so far
I have one of these and I love it
where did you get those raptor lights bro? i have the stock trd off road grill and want ambers but don’t want to buy another grill. thanx
Try Etsy. Have a friend with the same issue and I found some 3D printed adapters that fit to the trd off-road stock grille
Hey bro doing I’m going to attempt this do I need to remove the relays from those harmesses I have 14 harnesses attached to my battery it’s killing me does all the time and looks like like crap. Or do I just cut and splice the neg and +pos then instal them into the unit or do so short
Absolutely terrible advice. Do not change the amperage of the fuse you are using for the add a fuse. By upping the fuse you are running the risk that the circuit will overload and cause damage to your harness or possibly even a fire.
Found this video after asking on your last about connecting the pods with the backlight to this Auxbeam panel… I see you chose not to use the backlight anymore. Is that because you can’t on this sort of panel? I ordered the SSC2 pods myself and would ideally like to be able to still have the backlight functionality while still using the Auxbeam panel.
What did you do with the wiring harness that came with their own relays?
I wonder if anyone has mounted the fuse block in a small pelican case inside the engine bay..
i use auxbeam 6 switch panel for lightbar. Can I wire it to come on with oem main beam switch as well?
You, bestanut George and chloe unite to form the biggest ricer, broverlanding Voltron taco.
Follow my Instagram dude 👍
Thanks for the comment.
you have the gauge sizes wrong, 12 is bigger than 14 and 16,
Hey man hope you’re doing well. Quick question where on the wiring harness do you cut off to hook it up to the switch panel? Since most harness come with a relay. Also the wiring harness I have come with a black, white and blue wire. Assuming I don’t need to use the blue wire at all. Thank you in advance.
Watch the video. It explains everything
That bromance lol
🤷♂️😅😅 hahaha
Good video man, definitely helpful!
Whoo, first! 😎
Thanks bro :)!!!
@@JesseRizo No problem!!! 😆
Hey man I was just wondering if you just chose not to use the back lights or was not able to use them with this switch panel? I would like to be able to use the drl/backlight and high beam with all of my off road lights. Can this switch panel do that?
What’s up man I didn’t use my backlights because it only has a 8 switch panel and I have a lot of lights on my truck so if I would’ve done the backlights there just wasn’t enough switches so I opted to not use them
Great install video! Question about the the add a fuse. What size fuse did you guys use? I’m thinking of putting in two 10s or two 15s. Wouldn’t it be dangerous to replace that 10amp with the 20amp and a 30amp in the add a fuse. Thanks
Changing the fuse rating is a silly idea. All the add a first is doing is activating a relay when the accessory power is present. Never change the rating of the fuse. Just add a 5a fuse for the new circuit. That is plenty to activate the accessory relay.
The fuse is there to protect the spring, not the device, if you use a higher rate your wiring may burn before the fuse even blows.
Also be sure to put the add a fuse the right way in. Otherwise you may still have power coming in reverb if the main fuse blows.
@@munecito well spoken btw i noticed Ramone thinks bigger number gauge is bigger hahaha 14 or 16 guage is bigger that 12
Which fuse or switch did use for your grille lights?? Trying to add my raptor lights to this as well.
The 10A INJ Fuse is what i used. Just like they did in this video. If you use this box in conjunction with raptor lights you gain the ability to control them instead of them always being on when the vehicle is in accessory mode or running.
Is it possible to chance fuses to higher ones without damaging something?
Not recommended. The first protects the wiring not the device. A too high fuse will allow wiring to melt before it even blows. The fuse needs to be the weakest party of a circuit.
You dont need relay?
How do you like this panel after having it installed for a while? Any issues?
Like it so far just wish it was a little more protected like the spod is
Awesome video
I just installed mine but why is my fuse panel the smaller one vs all the ones I see being installed like yours?
Did u get the 6 switch this one is the 8 switch could be because of that or just a different model
@@JesseRizo I have the 6 yes. Trying to figure out is it older newer/ that/ etc. just can’t figure it out. But oh well works good so far
So your auxbeam only works if your headlights are on?
Yes u can also connect it different ways though
Still a bit ghetto but a lot cleaner and safer
Probably had enough room to mount it upside-down in the box water proof problem solved
That would be a lot of cutting for the wires to come in the lid of the box we did think of this
I thought of that too i was thinking just making a hole and adding a grommet to pass the wires and like that it still keeps it sealed
Why put a 30 amp on anything other than 1,2&5, 3-8 only allow max output of 20
Went off what the specs were from the original harness which came for the manufacturers, I wouldn’t go under or more from there recommendations
Thanks a lot.
Thanks for watching :)
love mine
Wonder if this one strobes?
Unfortunately it does not this is more of a “good” but budget setup for your lights
Sooo your switch panel only works with your headlights on... well that won't for me. Need it to work without running headlights all the time while at camp. Great vid tho
U can. U just have to wire it differently with a constant for me I didn’t want to accidentally push a button and it kills my battery with me not knowing there on so it all depends how u want it I specified that in the video
Ans thank you!!
How did you wire up the ditch lights ?
czcams.com/video/I8YPrACWRDk/video.html
So when you connect it to the aux beam panel is it just 1 power and 1 ground ?
Is that 20 amp fuse a certain type of fuse? Blade right? I got the same set up but I’m not trying to have my control panel backlight on all the time for the sake of my battery life.
Watch later in the video we ended up switching the location of the fuse to only power when my lights are on
Wait...do you keep the relays at all?
With the switch panel you won’t need relays
@@JesseRizo that makes so much sense now 😂
I'm about to install my panel today after seeing it on your channel. Thank you so much for bringing to us these outstanding contents.
@@plbraveheart you got it thank you for watching :) only thing I recommend to do different then this video is use the mount that comes with the auxbeam instead of drilling it into the fuse box cover like I did
Yo so I can get rid on the relays right??
Yes technically ur just running the wire connected to the pods straight to the auxbeam switch panel
Thanks
Don't listen to him in regards to upping the fuse size. That circuit was sized to run only the rated amperage. As per design of the engineers. Upping it is bad idea. Could it be okay? Maybe. Can anyone guarantee it? Not without manual, professional verification. You're fine to tap into that to power a relay and then pull power from the battery and fuse that line appropriately (or use a sub-fuse panel).
Second!!
You flipped the wire size around lol
Good installation, horrible location for the fuses box
Yup I’ve since changed it useing a L bracket and useing a slotted hole that the Tacoma has in the engine bay just mounting it there
Cool. Annoying song that’s for sure

For the ditch lights do they have to be wired separately?
I'm not a professional, but I just tied them together and put them in the same port
@@TheWestyn that’s what I did but my ditch lights won’t turn on 🤦🏻
I have them wired together as well 🤔 check connections
@@Livansmc is there a chance you have a loose ground?
What size fuse you using for the ditch lights?
