After spending quite a few hours getting an unwanted back adjustment via the silly placement of my car's fuse box, I'm not sure where to go from here.
I'm installing a new A119 and moving the old A118C to the back. Instead of dealing with the annoyance of plugging and unplugging each time like I've been doing with just the A118C for the past couple years. I wanted to hardwire them to have the cameras power on when starting it up and power off when removing the key. I picked up 2 hardwire kits with 2 add-a-fuse's and started testing fuses under the dash on the driver's side (2002 Mustang GT).
Here's the problem, the mini ATM fuse tap is rated 2-10Amps and none of the 5 or 10 amp fuses behave like I need it to for desired performance.
I'm a little confused on this aspect of the tap rating. On the various online listings the new fuse rating is often listed, but the original fuse rating is often left out or in some cases listed as the same as the 'new fuse'. Can anyone clarify this? Can I tap into fuse slot that has a pre-existing fuse over 10Amps? Is there a max value?
Is there an ideal value (and source if possible) for the new fuse (Hardwire shows 'Output: 5.5V 1A')?
The two Taps I picked up from a local store are 'Bussman 2-10 Amp'
