Default Fuse Block

Looking to add a couple of new fuse blocks to my 2018 F150 for accessories. Looking to add a switched and a 12v constant. Had anyone done this able to give me some mounting ideas?

Is the OEM that fully populated?
My base XL only uses about 1/2 of the existing slots, yeah it's minimally optioned but there are a lot of spots to pull power. KM

Depending on what power you want to use there are several spare fuses in the BCM that are not used on most 150s. These fuses can be utilized by adding terminals and wires to the appropriate connectors.

Connector C2280A Pin-2 is Fuse-23 (10 A) switched by the Accessory Delay Relay
Connector C2280A Pin-3 is Fuse-6 (10 A) hot at all times
Connector C2280C Pin-1 is Fuse-29 (30 A) hot at all times
Connector C2280C Pin-2 is Fuse-28 (20 A) hot at all times

Connector C2280C Pin-3 is Fuse-9 (10 A) hot at all times
Connector C2280C Pin-9 is Fuse-30 (30 A) hot at all times
Connector C2280C Pin-16 is Fuse-10 (5 A) hot at all times
Connector C2280C Pin-20 is Fuse-5 (20 A) hot at all times

The pins in red are specifically named as usable in the Ford Police Responder Modifier Manual but the others should work as well. If you want to use any of the above fuses I can tell you what terminals you need.
