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.

I have bought many trailers and wiring kits from E-trailer over the years. Their videos make it so easy to do it yourself.
Thanks again.



by:

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.

Helps make the install easy



by:

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!

I love e-trailer. Products are great and service is better!



by:

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.



by:

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.




































by:

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.

Parts were exactly what I ordered. Commication from vendor was excellent

    Each of the four individual lights included in the Westin LED Light Kit for Sure-Grip Running Boards # 27-6000 will connect to its included harness. The harness will make its main power connection to the vehicle circuit that controls the interior dome lights. This will let the running board lights turn on automatically when you open the doors. If your Grand Cherokee has a separate fuse for its interior/dome lights, you can use a fuse tap # F2526 in order to use that circuit to control...

  • Will Firestone Fuse Tap # F2526 Fit Any Vehicle Fuse Box
    Firestone does not offer a specific application guide for fuse tap # F2526 so this is good advice. Always check ahead of time. It fits most fuse boxes but since there are so many different configurations there are bound to be some it does not fit.

  • Recommended Brake Controller And Trailer Wiring For 2013 Chevrolet Express Van
    The first thing we need to know is if you have a factory towing package on your Express Van. If you have the towing package there will be a capped round plug behind the bumper on the drivers side frame rail. You can use part # HM40975. Just connect it to the plug you find under your van and you will have a 4-way connector and 7-way connector. If you do not have the towing package you will need to add a 4-way connector like the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector,...

  • Brake Controller Installation Cold Wire for Brake Control on 2021 Chevrolet Express 3500
    The 2021 Chevrolet Express is a difficult vehicle as it does not have a cold side on the brake switch for installing the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885. 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.

  • Parts Needed to Wire Prodigy Brake Controller in Peterbilt Semi Pulling EOH Trailers
    We do offer brake controllers such as the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller # HA100400C that takes in air pressure and converts it to an electrical signal for trailer brakes, but this item is not compatible with electric-over-hydraulic brakes, only electric drum brakes. For your application I suggest the Prodigy P2 # 90885 that you referenced. It has a setting for EOH brakes. You will also need an installation kit # ETBC7 to enable a hardwired installation. The challenge will...

  • How can I get the Cold Side of the Brake Switch on my 2015 Chevrolet Express Van?
    You aren't alone here! This is a very common issue that we get questions about quite regularly. 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...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Functions That Dont Work But Fuses Are Good
    First thing you should do at this point is test the 7-way of the wiring harness with a circuit tester part # PTW2993 for voltage on all of the right pins when the taillight signals are being applied. Just like in the video I attached. My theory is it's on the trailer side of the equation and a weak ground. If the voltage checks out there but the trailer lights still don't function right then the problem is on the trailer wiring. That would mean that problem is either due to a ground issue...

    For your application, to add electric trailer brakes to your system without needing to splice into any factory wires, you could use the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit, # 119250KIT. These Zero-contact interface senors idetify the current flowing through each wire by simply clamping around it. It has a circuit protecting module to protect your vehicle wiring and connects directly to the battery for power. This harness...

  • Fuse Size Recommendation for Fuse Circuit Tap Kit # F2526 When Used as Keyed Power Source
    If you are using the Firestone Fuse Circuit Tap Kit # F2526 for a keyed power source to activate the isolation solenoid part # TR118665 it really shouldn't matter what fuse you use but I would go with the lowest one. There would be a minimum amperage draw for the way you are using it since the middle pin of the # TR118665 will only be looking for signal to complete the solenoid's circuit.

  • Is a Fused Wire Tap Kit Available?
    The part referenced in the clinometer video was the Firestone Fuse Circuit Tap Kit # F2526. This will let you add an accessory fuse without needing to splice into your vehicle's wiring and simply plugs into your fuse box. I've added a couple links to videos of this product for you to take a look at.

  • What Size Fuse Do I Need to Install a Back Up Camera on a 2002 Ford F-150 Using a Fuse Kit
    You would want to consult the owners manual/instructions for the back up camera system you are installing. In most cases when installing a back up camera, if the fuse is not already integrated into he power cord itself and you use a fuse kit like the Firestone Fuse Circuit Tap Kit # F2526 you would only need a 3 AMP Fuse.

  • How to Obtain Brake Light Signal for Prodigy P2 Brake Controller 90885 on a 2010 Chevrolet Colorado
    My technical contact at Tekonsha does not have wiring information for your specific vehicle, the 2010 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it may be possible to obtain a brake light signal to feed to the Prodigy by tapping into the stop light fuse in the power distribution block in the engine compartment. On page 6-114 of your Colorado owner's manual, you should see a diagram of the power distribution block. There is a fuse labeled Stop. In the top of this fuse there should be holes where a probe-style...

  • How Many Individual Fuse Taps are Supplied with Firestone Fuse Circuit Tap Kit # F2526
    The Firestone Fuse Circuit Tap Kit, part # F2526, includes one fuse tap and three values of fuse, 10- 20- and 30-amp. The number of these kits you will need to install your backup camera system depends on where in the vehicle wiring you will be getting your reverse light signal (which activates the system). You will need at least one fuse tap to obtain 12V power for the backup camera system. You can use any circuit in the fuse box that is ignition-controlled, such as the radio circuit....

  • How to Access Vehicle Brake Light Signal for Trailer Brake Controller Installation
    If your 2005 Toyota Sequoia has a factory-installed 7-way trailer connector you can install the Curt Discovery trailer brake controller # C84VV using only the mating wiring adapter part # C51362. If it does not then the installation will be hardwired. You can gain access to the vehicle brake light signal, which is what triggers the Discovery controller to generate output voltage for the trailer brakes, either by tapping into brake light wiring or by installing a fuse tap in the brake light...

  • Ideas for Finding Keyed Power Source for Installing Rear View Safety Backup Camera System
    You will have to find a circuit that only sees power when the key is on. Typically the ignition circuit at the fuse box will work well for this. You can use a fuse tap to tap into that circuit. We have a fuse tap that would work too. For that you would want the part # F2526. Or if you want to find a circuit within your vehicle typically the radio circuit or cruise control circuit can be used for this.

  • Protecting Vehicle Battery from Excessive Draw from Trailer Battery
    The best way to ensure adequate power for your towing rig is to fully charge both the vehicle and trailer batteries before heading out. A simple tool like the CTEK MULTI universal charger # CTEK56353 will work on both your vehicle and trailer batteries to "top them off" before you head out. This charger has specific modes for both smaller batteries and for car batteries. If you want to have a fool-proof way to avoid the trailer battery from draining the vehicle battery, you can install...

    On the battery isolator, # PK5231201, the input should be coming from the battery, into the isolator, then out the other side to the 7-Way. The unit grounds through the mounting hardware. It will need to be attached to the metal of the engine compartment. You need a wire that only has power when the ignition is on. Things like antenna motors for powered antenna could work. On the fuse box, it should state what items are on with the ignition. You could use a fuse tap, which is a fuse you...

    To wire your vehicle battery 12V to charge a trailer battery, I recommend using a 40 amp In-Line Circuit Breaker - Perpendicular Mount Bracket # 9510 along with # 10-1-1 to wire your trailer connection. 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...

  • What is Firestone Fuse Tap F2526 Used For
    The fuse tap in question for Firestone air bag kits such as # F2581 is # F2526 and it comes with fuses already so you would not have to use your own. The included fuses are a 10 amp, 20 amp, and 30 amp. The fuse tap is used to easily get power to the air bag system by tapping into the fuse panel rather than hardwiring to a 12 volt circuit. It isn't required but does make installation a little easier. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation.

  • Can You Get Third Brake Light and 12 Volt Power For Camper Shell From 7-Way Trailer Connector
    On 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...
