Grille Lights on at Start up !.

[RedRAM21]

I have 2021 Bighorn 1500 and I installed a new Grille with 4 LED Lights, plus 2 more on the Flares.

Can anyone tell me the circuit I can tap to have the Grille Lights-Plus, turn on at startup and stay on till shut down.

The amperage draw will be minimal for the 6 LED Lights so I am not worried aobut tapping an existing circuit just not sure which would work the best.

Thanks for your time.

Probably the easiest would be to use a fuse tap into the trailer lights fuse. That way you are nut cutting into any wires, and if I remember right they are not on the canbus either.

Thanks for the help, but I tapped the DRL Fuse in the under the hood Fuse Box (Circuit Box).

Now my Grille Lights are on with my DRLs, and look good.

Happy Camper !

I'm installing some grille lights with amber turn signals to my 2021 Ram 1500 Bighorn. I need to individually tap into the front left and front right turn signals. I tried to tap into the fuse box under the hood for each individual side, (F09 and F10) but when I do that both of the new turn signals flash at the same time. Each grille light came with 3 wires- red for DRL power, black for ground, and yellow for the amber turn signals. Can anyone please tell me where I could connect each yellow wire so that they each flash with their corresponding side? So far, I hooked both red power wires up the the "trailer cam" fuse under the hood, and I ran the ground wire. The lights look great! Now, I just need to figure out where to tap these yellow wires into so that they both work properly. I even tried an experiment and ran a jumper wire from the flat 4 pin trailer plug to each light, but it didn't matter which side turn signal I turned on, they both would flash at the same time! It's starting to get a little frustrating because I'm sure there's an easy fix! Any help or ideas would be very much appreciated!
