I think I dont know what am talking about now LOL ... here's a picture of the fuse box layout.

I need an auto electrical expert to weigh in on this before I burn shit down
No, I think you're correct with respect to 20A/ 15A logic. What's the rating of the fuse in the constant power tap?

Both the dashcams I use (70mai earlier and Red Tiger now) use 5A fuse - I'll figure it out when I get to installing this, or take your experience forward

Yeah, it seems logically correct but am not sure how technically sound it is

Both fuse taps (ACC and BATT) have 15A fuses preinstalled. When are you installing yours? I think I should wait and follow your lead LOL

Don't hold your breath

I'm traveling to end of month, and have a few pending actions for my Thar - hopefully by first week of July!

Ok, then I will research this further on what fuses to tap for a 15A load; in the meanwhile if you can check with anyone you may know that's knowledgeable, drop me a line. I am reluctant to take it to the auto electrical shops (I recently got some aux lamps mounted at a local shop and them fellas are bigger idiots than I; barely had a clue as to what they were doing).
