Some months ago I bought a Street Guardian SG9663DCPRO Dual Channel Dash Camera and a Street Guardian SGDCHW SG9663DCPRO Hardwire Kit with Mini ATO Fuse Taps as I have a pizza delivery job and I believed this was a responsible decision.
I figured hardwiring it would be straightforward, all the tutorials and manuals make it look easy and say it takes 15 minutes. However, I have been unable to successfully hardwire the dashcam into my car due to the lack of a fuse for the BATT wire that is always on.
Here is the service manual for my car, the Mazda Tribute 2005 - https://cdn.dealereprocess.net/cdn/servicemanuals/mazda/2005-tribute.pdf
On page 184 displays the fuses.
Of the fuses listed, a significant portion of them straight up do not work, such as sunroof, 4WD, and heated seats fuses. Which would make sense because my car does not have any of those things. But even the fuses displayed as "unused" or are in some way free do not have power in them. Only essential functions seemed to have power, with a couple of exceptions which I put the ACC wire into because they were only on with ignition. However, none of the fuses were always on, and thus I could not find anything to plug the BATT wire into.
I do not have any certifications or training related to cars, so what to do now is beyond my low level of knowledge. I cannot find anything in the manual that came with the dashcam nor any youtube tutorials that explain what to do in my situation.
