Jeep Wrangler Jk | JKU - DIY Auxiliary Power Source Mod Using Jeeps Factory Tow Package & New Light

What’s up y’all, welcome back. I just installed this really cool light on the lift gate glass of our 2015 Jeep Wrangler jku it’s super bright, scatters a ton of light and is controlled by a simple on off switch. I’ve also tapped into jeeps “hidden Auxiliary power source”, by tapping into the factory mopar tow package. Thought I’d share this because it seems useful and I know there are a few JK owners here that may have a tow package and need some auxiliary power in the back of there jeep for lights and accessories. On my jeep with a factory tow wiring harness, there’s a red 12v hot wire protected and ran from the battery to the back of the tow connection outlet. That wire is an Extra ran 14g wire that doesn’t get used for towing! Why not use it? And what do you use it for?

To protect this circuitry i now use 7.5 amp inline fuse

Remember the longer the wire the less amps it will carry.

You will need to measure the length wire and fuse the circuit properly

Example:
If you extend the 14g wire to 15ft fuse for 7.5 amps maximum

16 guage wire at 15ft can carry 5 amp = fuse 5 amp
12 guage wire at 15ft can carry 10amp =fuse 10 amp
14 guage wire at 15ft can carry 7.5amos = fuse 7.5
10 guage wire at 15ft can carry 15amps = fuse 15 amp
