First, the jumpers are 10 gauge, the largest wires in the circuit. They are not going to melt. You can't get enough current through that circuit to even warm them up, let alone melt them. There is a fuse protecting them, and there are smaller wires that would melt first, even if there were no...

The circuit is already fused. The jumpers are doing exactly what the switch does in the "Service Lights" position. Does the switch have a fuse built in? Nope. So the jumpers don't need to be fused.

That doesn't solve the problem of bumping the switch into the "All OFF" position and losing your lights. ;-)

Great point! Not being a 1010 guy, I didn't know that.

He probably used some wire that was too small for the current. That's why I went with 10 gauge -to make sure that would not be a problem. The jumpers are just taking the place of the switch function. That's all. Nothing changes functionally about the circuit, except that it no longer has...

Someone was asking recently about bypassing the BO light switch, and I could not find a good how-to on it. Since I did it on my truck today, I decided to take some pics and write it up. Tinstar and cucvrus, please avert your eyes. Non-standard mayhem is about to begin. :mrgreen: The first...
