Hi,
I've just hardwired my dashcam wires in the lower fuse box but when i turn the engine on the dashcam won't turn on. I am somewhat confident in the quality of the work I've put in, in terms of wiring and fuses. This is the steps that I've taken:
1) One fuse tap/ piggy back fuse/ add-a-fuse onto each accessory and battery wire
2) removed a fuse that was accessory and one that used constant battery power, placed it in the slot and put it in
3) grounded the last wire
I've used pliers instead of a crimper but the metal cylinder inside was squeezed tightly and the wires were definitely touching for both. I tried many different fuses without success, these are the ones I've tried:
battery: stop lamp/horn, headlight main beams, tail lights (LH), parking lights (LH)
accessory: sunroof (it has a fuse although car has no sunroof), power window switch, audio system
The horn and audio system were working when I put in the fuse tap.
I'm definitely frustrated at this point and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Took a few pictures of the fuse if it somehow helps (open images in new tab as it's really zoomed in)
