This is important that you tap into the right fuse, you want your device to turn off when the car turns off, and not stay on.. Some components stay hot even when the car is off.. So choose wisely.

I have a volt meter (no idea what i'm doing) and i was going to test different fuses under the dash panel. Saw a youtube video of sorta how to do it to see if they're hot or not when the car is off. Def a 10A fuse. problem is that the fuse box under the drivers side foot well doesn't have a cover or display. Idk what fuse does what other than ampage.

Dang, wish someone local can help you out. It's a simple install..

I'm an amateur. If it isn't brakes, suspension, or slight engine work. i'm clueless. No worries. Hopefully this weekend things will work out better.

So best you use the fuse slot on the car that is already using a 10A fuse.
Otherwise the fuse could prematurely blow.
Example: if the cigarette lighter socket is using 15A and you tap the add a circuit with a 10A fuse into that slot, the 10A could blow if you hook up an old heavy duty air pump to it.

Dual 10A mini fuses. Got it. I assume a stock low profile mini 10A can be swapped for a standard mini 10A and the add-a-fuse will fit in the fuse holder?
