This is a good subject to bring up. When I first started using these, I didn't consider the functionality you describe and had to revisit some that I had put in my wife's Bronco and my truck. That being said, I don't' know what the manufacturer recommends and I'm no automotive EE, but I think what you recommend is not correct unless you can confirm that the fuse panel has a high enough rating in the panel. Certainly fuses are there to protect the wiring after the fuse, but the manufacturer has the BUS and wiring leading to the fuse with the load in mind as well. IMO the main circuit (original rating) fuse should protect the draw from both loads until you confirm that the entire run (before and after) can support both loads. This has the effect that sort of makes the add-on accessory subservient to the main load fuse. Yes this runs the risk of popping that fuse and cutting power to 2 accessories more often, but that keep the wiring safe, which is one of the main reasons you fuse before the wiring in the first place. The key is to pick the right load to tap into, an intermittent one that ideally isn't being used when the second load is active or that has a high start-up draw. A 'cigarette lighter' fuse position is a perfect choice. It has user controlled demand. Ultimately, I don't think it matters, since I don't think you should tap more than about 5A this way anyhow. High wattage transceivers (CB, ham, GMRS), off-road lights, air pumps, coolers and etc. should be run off a dedicated circuit from the battery, in my opinion. I've set up a bus for those before to minimize the battery connections.

Real important point is that the Fuse Tap pin furthest from the Fuse Tap cable is where active power should come in. So in the example shown initially inside the fuse box, with power to the right side of the fuse, that means the fuse tap cable should run to the left. Often people will mistakenly orient the fuse tap where it best fits.

Those are good points. Traditional engineering aims to position fuses upstream of the wires they protect, but there is a practicality of how to protect the short stretch of wiring leading to the fuse. When those boxes are designed the engineers will not consider that somebody would tap a fuse and add more current. So, you take a small risk to upstream wiring when you add a second circuit in parallel. If you have add a 5 amp circuit to a 10 amp preexisting circuit, now the maximum upstream current is 15, not 10. I agree with your remark that putting fuses in series for branch circuits feels messy, but it does safely limit upstream current to what it was designed for, 10 in that example. Fortunately there is usually enough tolerance built into standards that the risk is low. Even so, I like your idea of a relay, which allows design of the heavy elements of the circuit directly from a source of power.

hello i bought two of this cable car camera to be able to use it in parking mode. I connected it to the fuse box by adjusting the leg direction. But I could not see the voltage at the fuse tape output, is the cable broken? 4:20 I short-circuited like you did I didn't hear a beep sound on both of my wires I think were broken. in your opinion

I am installing a led light strip do you think it will be ok to connect it to the daytime running lights?

Hi Anthony I always appreciate your videos as they are very correct and very informative. I'm not being picky but your hands are covering a few places that you are talking about ie: the continuity meter for one. But I think your videos are fantastic thanks and keep up your excellent work

What is the voltage meter you are using at about 1:00 to 1:10 mark? Seems like it doesn't need ground and is non-contact as well just proximity. Would love to get one like that if you can provide links or info. Thanks!

It needs ground. I have the cable hooked up to chassis, you just can't see it on camera.

Can you use different sizes fuses such as a 7a and the OEM 10A? I'm assuming YES because essentially its a separate circuit.

@AnthonyJ350 7 ай бұрын

Yes you can, provided the new one is typically smaller and you don't overload the circuit.

What if I want to power something as the car is starting up? Would it be safe to wire to the crank fuse? Any other options?

@AnthonyJ350 Жыл бұрын

You need to find a circuit on "true ignition". It will stay 12 volts throughout the crank sequence.

Easy enough to understand except when you check or continuity, you need to check both legs just for consistency.

Why not use the same amperage fuse on both? My rear outlet power source is a 20 amp fuse. Connecting LED lights and I'm going to use fuse tap fuse slot position can I use a 20 amp should I use hate 15 amp fuse for the top

@AnthonyJ350 6 ай бұрын

I would use a relay hooked up to the battery for that kind of amperage pull.

another question, I found an empty spot in my fuse box , when may car is on, and read it 14.3 volts is that matter for install a dash cam, into the ACC power?

What happens to the circuit when you shut off the car.
