I purchased the following install kit because it has a right-angle micro USB connector but after hooking it up to a 10 amp fuse, the B1W is not powering on. It does power on via the cig lighter so I know the cam is functioning. I'm an electrical newbie but used a multimeter and there's 12V at the add-a-fuse and some power also going to the micro USB connector - I set the multimeter to 2000m (DCV) and it read as 0.1 volts. Back to 0 when I turn the car off, so that means it's getting power to the micro USB connector when the car is on. Is it not powering the cam because it's not passing enough voltage? This is the kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076F9TQ8L
I know the recommended install kit is this but was hoping to get away with the right-angle connector kit above instead: https://www.amazon.com/gp/B075WPSZYH
Would it make a difference if I used a larger fuse slot like a 30 amp? My kit doesn't come with that size housing so I couldn't try.
