I'd have to do a bit of searching, but I'm pretty sure I've read about numerous others installing the PS-8 in their F-150's with the WPT1212 harness; I think you should be fine. Of course, there's a reason that RF specs a 30A fuse on that amp, but that's beyond the max that it should ever draw under normal circumstances and serves the purpose of protecting the internal components. Now, could the amp draw somewhere between 20A and 30A under normal usage and still blow the fuse in your truck? It's certainly a possibility, but I wouldn't worry about that at this point. What concerns me right now is that you're blowing the fuse in your truck's fuse box, so I'd start troubleshooting connections/wiring to make sure there isn't a short somewhere.

Well, I just found this about 70 pages back. Looks like I've been connecting it backward the whole time.
I was going based on some kind of pencil drawing I saw somewhere in this thread. Why the hell wouldn't Ford include this info with the harness?!
Top left black is positive. Orange red on the factory side
Top far right is ground or negative. Black violet on the factory side.
Bottom left is remote turn on. Brown on factory side.
Bottom 2nd to left is line level + violet on the factory side
Bottom 3rd to the right is line level - green on factory side
All other wires are not used. Tape them off.

Hello all. Trying to read through all 85 pages and just wanted to check to see if I was missing something. I picked up a JBL 8" similar to the hideaway. I have a 2018 XLT with the 302a package. Do I still need the WPT1212 harness or is it a different part for the 18? Is the connection in the same place as previous years? Thanks.

Saw one report that there was no power to the connector in the C Pillar in an 18, is it safe to assume yours did have power (once turned on in ForScan)?
