Fuse #28 - SWC BKLT

So fuse 28 is entitled SWC BKLT (2a)

I'm trying to find out exactly what this fuse does, I thought maybe the backlight on the dash but I took it out and it still works. Any ideas? (trying to figure out if it's safe to tap into it).

Brakelight! That does make sense lol, would that be a safe fuse to tap into?

The other was steering wheel control and I didn't think I'd want to mess with that lol.

Problem with that is it's a 15 amp fuse, the add-a-circuit I'm using do up to 10 combined lol.

Haha, it's done, only downside of this is the lights have to be on so unless I find something else better I just run the fogs. It's acutally kinda kewl cause during the day when the lights aren't automatically on the fog light button also acts as the on/off switch lol.
