Happy Sunday everyone,

To keep a long story short, I‘m trying to find the fuse location for the auxiliary switch #2 & #3. I‘ve looked online and what I’m finding doesn’t match truck. Can any of you please point me in the right direction?

TIA,

Steve

Hey Steve,

I marked them in the photo below. As you'll notice in the screen shots from the Manual on the center screen in the truck. The Diagram and the pages stating what is where can be a bit confusing. So in my picture with the arrows, you'll see that there is a 10 amp switch marked #3 or #1 and then there is another 15 amp switch marked with #1 or #3.

That is where the manual gets confusing. It says that the 15amp switch is #1 and the 10amp switch is #3. However, they SWITCH (no pun intended) those if you have the 801A package with the stock fog lights. They don't physically move the fuses. The flip flop the wires underneath. So your Aux 1 becomes the 10 amp with the less demanding draw and your Aux 3 becomes the 15 amp.

It sucks that they just don't tell you that.

If you can't find this fuse box. It is located right behind the battery toward the cab.

Hope this helps!!

John

I just spoke to someone on the phone with a 2024 about fuse locations. Ford eliminated the model without the fog lights now. So every Raptor in 23 I believe but for sure 24 now comes with the base fog kit. Yet they still show outdated information in the digital manual.
This is where they swapped the 15amp Aux 1 and the 10 amp Aux 3. To do this, they actually moved the wire in the fuse locations between those 10 and 15 amp fuses.
Apparently the manual still reflects, saying Aux 1 is 15 amps and Aux 3 is 10, when that is backwards always now, since the fog kits are standard.

I thought it would be good to resurface this information and these diagrams for help for everyone. In fact, it may be a good thing for a “sticky” post.

That said, it seems that for 2024, Ford just moved all the fuses around randomly, but still has the Aux 1 and 3 listed backwards. So here are updated manual diagrams, as well as an updated picture notating the correct fuse locations for switch wires.

One thing of note for those looking for these fuses. They can be a little hard to find because they are specialty fuses. Often times, especially on the RECTANGLE ones and Square ones, (M-Case & J_Case Slotted), consumers had gone to the dealers who generally didn't stock them. So they would order them from Ford. Ford would buy them from "The Little Fuse Company" (Brand) and package them in their blue and white Ford Parts bags and sell them to the dealers for around $8 each. Then the dealers would mark them up to about $16 each and add on that $5 for shipping. So the one fuse would run about $21.
We saw a lot of frustrated customers out there and a few years ago just started buying them in bulk and put together some discounted fuse kits so people could have spares but not have their heads ripped off.
So for the 2015-2024, The trucks use J-Case Slotted, M-Case SHORT and Micro 2 & 3 Blade fuses. These fuses will also work for any Ford vehicle from 15-24. For 2008-2014 they use the J-Case Short and MINI blade Fuses.

We originally put these together to help with an inexpensive and easy access solution. So there isn't much markup in them. It has helped a lot of people though.


Here are links to those kits. There is one for the Gen 2/3 Switches (one for all 6) and then a general kit which has at LEAST 1 of EVERY Style/Size fuse in the vehicle and the more common ones, it has 2.

The new 2024 trucks have a different fuse system then 2021-2023 FYI. Here is the 2024 F150 Raptor fuse diagram

1731021327184.png

173 is Upfitter 1 (Upfitter 3 if you have fogs) - 15 Amps
174 is Upfitter 2 - 15 Amps
175 is Upfitter 3 (Upfitter 1 if you have fogs) - 10 Amps
176 is Upfitter 4 - 10 Amps
177 is Upfitter 5 - 5 Amps
178 is Upfitter 6 - 5 Amps

We just learned this working on a customers 2024 truck. Upfitter 3 was not working however Fuse 175 was fine. But because he has factory fogs #1 and #3 are swapped (thanks Ford for upgrading the diagram, laugh). So since my customer has factory fogs Upfitter 3 is actually fuse location 173 and upfitter 1 is fuse location 175

So silly of Ford to keep everyone on the hunt but thank you for sharing.

Ohh it wouldn't be a Ford if they didn't change things. Remember the Gen2 Raptors :) They had 3 different color codes through the Gen2 trucks.
