How's it going everyone. I'm looking for different option for wiring accessories into the battery. I have the 2 fuses added to the post of the battery terminal and can't find a replacement with another post for accessories. Am I missing something or can someone shoot me possibilities?

Follow the red cable to the fuse box,and wire your relay off it's connection point.The fuse box connection is easier to work with then the battery post connection

Do you have any pictures?
Now don't take this wrong,but if you can't find the red hot feed to the fuse box,you probably shouldn't be wiring in lights. Get off your ass and go look at your trucks fuse box,before you ask for a picture. Especially a pic that i'd have to go outside to get,and that ain't happening,so go look at your truck,lol.BTW you need a 13 mm socket to pull the nut off it,there i saved you that trip,lol.

Considering it's in the shop getting damage fixed from a tornado. Was just asking for parts options not just splicing into other wires. Kind of hard but thanks for being a ********. And nobody asked your lazy ass to go take a picture.

Sorry about that I'm just really irritated with the shop bull****ting with my truck. I was just looking to see if anyone has found any battery terminals that incorporate the fuses and add an accessory bolt to the side or something. I'm probably just going to add a distro box or buss bar if I can't find anything.

You could look at a fuse power distribution box which sounds like it might work for you. They come in many different styles and sizes, and usually are pretty inexpensive. If you wanted to take a step further, you good look at systems like Spod, or similar type switch/fuse systems.

Auxbeam makes a relay box switch panel which makes it easy to install lights and other things. I use it for my lightbar and fog lights. Will be adding bed lights to the panel eventually also maybe a inverter
