Winch wiring

[RiponOX13]

I purchased a smitybilt winch that needs a wire ran to a aux controlled fuse for a drl. I'm already using f52 for something. Any other fuse location s recommended that are aux controlled

Look at your cigar lighter fuse. My 2020 JL has a 20amp Micro there which I ran a fuse tap to and stacked a 10amp on top of the 20 for the running lights on the winch. Make sure you check the power side with a meter first and put in the Fuse Tap correctly. Check the fuse on both sides withh Acc on and off to identify the hit side. No issues with mine. Winch running lights only on when acc or run positions are on.

The lighter is already being tapped into F52 is the lighter. I had an oracle grill installed which is piggybacked on that one already. I am looking for a second one

You could check your F97 (radio) but I don't know if it will reset or remove all your presets(probably will,that's why I avoided it originally).
The only other one I can think of is swapping F43 to F45 and tapping into F45. By moving F43 to F45 it changes it to Acc instead of Batt.

I'm not electrician though so at your own risk.
