Help with ignition-on fuse or wire tap

I ordered and installed an auxiliary switch box, got the box mounted and wire ran through to driver side. The iddue I’m having now is connecting the fuse to power. I quickly realised the under-hood fuse box is a pretty sealed box and won’t realistically get a tap in there, and the box is a long way from the interior fuse box. Has anyone had to splice onto an exiting ignition-on wire (possibly in the headlight) and had success?

Thanks for any help  

Quashish Family Ride Thread : 2024 Badlands

Spend 4 hours today removing additions I’ve made over the last 3 years to my wife’s rapid red big bend. Removed basket and yakima crossbars. Basket will get a fresh coat of paint. Thinking either just gloss black or the hammered finish metallic from rustoleum. Only thing I left on the car for now is the window vents, mud guards, and windsheild strip. I’ll get those before we take it back to the dealership. Please excuse my cluttered garage.

What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

Now that forum members are getting some Bronco Sports to own and love, I thought it would be cool to begin a thread that is often found on other enthusiast boards.

Got your hands a bit dirty working on your Little Bronco recently? Dressed it up? Did a detail? Or how about a mod? Give us a quick post, show us some pics. Share what you are doing to make your Sport uniquely yours.

I’ll kick off with a few items myself to get things started and hopefully we can keep the thread going.  

Broken sway bar upper bracket?

Front drivers side was making a strange sound and felt off, after taking a look at it the upper bracket that attaches the sway bar links is broken. No mods just a 21 Bronco sport big bend. Anyone else have this problem and can you just buy the bracket? If so where have you found them? I’ve searched all day today and can not track them down.

Sport Mode…

Still under 100 miles on my new Badlands and just tried the Sport Mode.
We usually don’t use it on my Wife’s Big Bend.
Plenty peppy enough and totally fine in mountain driving – even with the 235/65/17 AT Trails.
The Sport Mode is really great on the Badlands and I really can’t feel any difference after installing 245/65 /17 AT Trails.
Nice to have options.

Auxbeam Mount location

Hi all. Decided to add a Rough Country 20” bumper mounted LED light bar to my Outerbanks.

I also picked up an auxbeam AS-R40 switch.

With regards to mounting the control box under the hood.

1. Is it safe to mount with heat proof double sided tape?

2. is on top of the air box (just in front of the battery) and ok spot? Or how about the flat box just to the right of the battery? I haven’t looked close at that spot. Is it the fuse box?

On a side note. I was thinking of installing a small…

Diode dynamics backlight wiring question

Looking into upgrading my ditch lights and have really started to like the ssc2 pros. My question is, has anyone here installed diode dynamic lights? I see it has a backlight wire that people tap into existing wiring, which I don’t want to do. Could I just wire it to an empty slot on my auxiliary fuse box? Or could I hypothetically bring it to the same auxiliary fuse slot that I would run the lights to? I’m not necessarily hurting for space in the auxiliary fuse box but am curious…

No front license plate provision?

Hi all, new guy here who just bought a 2024 Bronco Sport Heritage about a week ago.
When I finished my paperwork at the dealership last Saturday, the sales guy hands me my front plate & tells me they don’t like to drill the front bumper to mount plates. I live in Wisconsin so it’s mandatory to mount both plates we’re given with motor vehicles. The dealer put the rear plate on when I closed the sale at the store.

So after driving around for a week without the plate, I got up close & person…

Post your crossbar/basket/rack combo photos!

It would be cool to see what everyone is coming up with for the roofs of their Broncos!

Personally, I am considering the Ford on-road crossbars with either the Yakima medium Load Warrior basket or the Yakima OffGrid basket. Anyone know if the OffGrid would work?

Looking forward to seeing these combos!
