Yep, technically plusnuts. Access is decent with the fender liner removed.

I’ve never heard of plusnuts. I have rivenuts, pretty sure the tool is too large to even fit inside the fender area.

Two different ways to do the same thing. Agree with gemarsh, plusnuts flare out a little more and I have found them more forgiving.

My rivnut tool is too short for plusnuts so instead I use this little tool: https://a.co/d/40zuRDC

I’m assuming your vehicle is a 1500?

After seeing your build you suckered me into getting the auxbeam switches lol. I’m trying to wire it all up but I’m having trouble figuring out where to fuse tap so I can power to the switches when the truck is in ACC mode. What fuse did you tap into? If possible, could you share a pic please?

2023 GMC Sierra 1500 engine fuse box accessory power location

Looking to wire up my AUX Beam switch panel. Trying to figure out the best ACC "accessory" fuse location. Looking for one that only powers on when the truck is turned on. Been trying to research the correct fuse to tap into in the engine compartment fuse box. Anyone have any advice on which...

Interesting. So you just tapped into misc ignition fuse. I take it you weren’t able to find the secret ACC fuse either lol.

Taped into the #40 and it only powers on when I start the truck. Works perfectly.

Right when you power on the truck. I was trying to find one that will turn the switch on when it’s in ACC mode. Can’t seem to find one so #40 will have to do.

F28 in the passenger side fuse panel does that. Provides power in both ACC and engine on. I used that for my panel for that reason. If you need the wire under the hood just pass it through the fire wall to the engine bay through the pop out on the passenger side fire wall.

Yeah I thought about tapping into that one but my truck doesn’t have that fuse for whatever reason.

Are you saying the fuse location is not present or that there is no fuse in it? Picture for reference.

No fuse in that slot.
