Putco emblem.

[Whichwaysup]

Hey y’all

I have a Petco emblem that I am planning on installing on the front of my truck. I’ve seen that I don’t need to remove the grill to get the old one off and the new one installed.

How hard is the wiring? Is it going to take a while or is it a quick job? Just wanna plan my timing appropriately.

I just installed mine a couple of weeks ago. Very first video I saw consisted of removing the entire grill. Then I read about a couple of folks just sticking their hands through the grill. Now, I’m not a big guy….so, I don’t have real big hands. I did not see how I would be able to do it without removing the grill…it’s just too tight.

So, I removed the grill. It was not hard at all. Make sure you do it on a warm day. If it’s a cold day, the plastic around the lights that you have to pull off “could” break. If it’s warm, it’ll take a lot to break it. Anyway, just take your time…it was worth removing the grill so that I could see everything. Took me a couple of hours total.

Just my .02 cents. LOL

I was able to get mine installed without removing the grill. Very easy to do. I’ve got the wiring run, but I can’t find the fuse location that I’m supposed to put the add-a-fuse into. It says fuse 18. Where the heck is that?

IIRC: The fuse 18 was changed and Putco never updated the instructions.
I hooked mine up to the #6 outfitter switch.
I also was able to install mine without removing the grill.

Details are buried somewhere in this thread:

Putco Emblem

I'm about to install my putco emblem and got to eyeing the length of the connector wires (PNP Harness). It looks like they are going to be close. What path did you take with the wiring? Did you go up with the washer feed line across then down or more of a straight to the DRLs from the emblem?

Ahhh…I see you don’t have a 24+. I think your grill openings are bigger. Good for you.

Did you look in your owner’s manual for the fuse box? That’s where I found mine.

I finally found a youtube video with a guy who explained that they changed the fuses in ‘21 and now there is no #18. He used #22 and it worked. I did the same and we are golden . . .

Except that - just before I started the project, my drivers side @Cblaxx19 light went out! .

Claxx - any guidance on troubleshooting?

Talk about bad timing! I never got the full effect!

Oh yeah….your grill openings are much bigger than the 24+.

I know once of your lights went out, but it does look good!! I love the lighted Ford emblem.

Thanks @T-Rob ! I hope to get that light figured out today.

Thanks @T-Rob ! I hope to get that light figured out today.

I’m sure you will. Check all of your connections. Might just be a lose wire.
