Hey everyone,
Started working on the installation of my dashcam and I need some help picking the right fuse slots.
Blackboxmycar recommend the below:
- Use fuses between 10 to 30A to provide enough power to the dashcam
- Avoid using fuse slots that pertains to safety features such as airbags etc.
My fuse box is separated unto 2 section.
1st section use mini type fuses and pertains to less important features of the car
2nd section use standard size fuses ranging from 20 to 35A that pertains to important elements of the car. I decided to no tamper with these and only tested the 1st section of my fuse box.
Below are the results of my testing. and further below I listed out potential BATT & ACC slots. I'm leaning towards using the footwell fuse for the BATT because it's an empty slot but it's only 5A. Would that suffice to power the cam?
With regards to the ACC I'm not too sure which one to use. I'm leaning towards the Telephone multi function switch maintenance system and I'm not sure what is the multi function switch maintenance system.
Any help would be greatly apreciated
