Good place in frunk to get a switched ignition +12V tap? (Frunk 12V outlet installation)

[teksavy]

Hi:

I've searched and searched and I can't find anyone who has installed a 12V outlet in the frunk area. I'd like to install one for my 12V fridge.

I took a look at the fuse box in the frunk area, and all of the exposed terminals are constant 12V power. I'd like to avoid fuse taps in the fuse box if possible and I'd like a switched ignition tap to power a relay connected directly to the 12V battery, perhaps via a T-Tap. Ideally the delayed 12V line that powers the 12V outlets in the cab. I'm trying to avoid running a wire to the cab through the firewall if possible.

Any help or insight is appreciated. Pic for attention.

Ford publishes a modifiers guide with more details about connecting additional items to the electrical system. A link to the document is available in the following post:

Don't forget to put a 2nd easily accessible one for the jump pack for when you kill the fragile little 12v battery.

I always carry a jump pack with me just in case. But this 12V port will only be powered when the truck is on. My 12V fridge has built in batteries when the truck is off. Light load.

No, I don't want to have to remember to turn on the 110 volt outlets in the frunk. Also, it's limited to 140 w which when the refrigerator is in Max mode draws more than that with the frunk closed. 12V tap solves all of that hassle.

Just get one of these.

I’m powering my Ecoflow cooler in the frunk with this setup:
