why not just jump the acc on wire to cable end coming from the breaker so its always on unless the breaker pops? only reason to use fuse box's is for key on power in my opinion. you had key off power 3 inches away from the input

I guess it depends on what you're using the car for. We are climbing over rocks, so I like the idea that the mud flaps will fold rather than break. Also, the reason I didn't go with Rally Armor as they are to stiff. I feel the splash guards would have smashed when hitting a rock. Also, they cover the side of the car better from the road grim. Each has their own preference.

@SubaruColorado3 ай бұрын
The instructions are "ok", but it is a simple product to wire up. Follow my video as your car should be the same as mine, 24 Outback Wilderness. Basically you wire the big wire (either one) from the battery to the breaker, from breaker to the (+) side of the module. Wire the (-) side of the module to a ground or the (-) on the battery. The small wire can be wired to a constant 12volt source like I did (this lets you be able to turn the on anytime but also be warned as if accidently turned on it could run your battery down) or to a 12volt ignition source (this will only be powered when the car is turned on). This wire should be fuse, but they do include the fuse in the box, you could go straight to the battery but you would want to purchase an inline fuse for that. The only other thing to do is wire up your item you want to control so just run positive (+) wire (probably red but not always) to the (+) side on the module and the negative (-) wire (probably black but not always) to the negative terminal on the module. The only other thing to know it the module goes from 10amp to 30amp. So you will need to see what item you are hooking up requires how many amps. Pretty simple, just read the instrutions andfollow the video and I think you will be fine. The layout for the 2020-2024 outback is the same, the curcuits might be a little different from WIlderness to Premium but that is about it. Also follow the channel as I am building mine and 99% of everything that fits my car will also fit yours. I have a link in the discrption (affiliate link) for the Switch panel. Also check out Rival4X4 for your skid plates, I get nothing from them but I love the plates and they also have hood shocks that i will be installing and reviewing shortly, no more hood prop rod.

I ordered this unit as well as the lights for my 2022 GMC Canyon AT4. This is the best solution as not wanting to mess with the dash or connecting into existing wiring. Do you have to connect the ignition wire? It appears you do unless you want to flip the breaker each time. Now I have to figure out where to connect in the truck's fuse box. If they were only a wireless camera that was not in 4 figures. :)
@SubaruColorado4 ай бұрын
The small "ACC" wire is required to either go to an ignition wire or constant 12v. You could either tap into the fuse box or just go to the battery but remember to put a fuse inline if you go to the battery. I prefer the constant 12v so I can turn them on from a distance without needing to get in the car.

Question! So you have yours install on an always hot fuse so you can turn lights on, even when the car is off/not running and I know that is not using any power while nothing is on but technically there is a receiver that’s going to be waiting for a signal from the remote. Now the question is do you think if I leave my car for a couple weeks parked for example. Will the battery die from the receiver always being “on” waiting for that signal?
