Ok.

Get the mini fuse. Take the add a circuit to your local autoparts store and get the mini fuse.
Like I said, the add a circuit will fit in both mini and micro fuse box slots.

GL!

I'm not blaming you. I didn't know different fuses existed. My fault. Stupid civic though doesn't carry a normal mini fuse is what pisses me off. I'm bringing the hardwire and the add a fuse to work tomorrow. Going to let the guys in maintenance crimp the ever living SHYT out of those stupid wires.

Oh ok.. I feel bad I didn't know you didn't know the different sizes out there..
Dang, wish someone local can help you out. It's a simple install..

dude, if you've never done electrical stuff, why would you experiment on your Z.. hopefully you didn't mess anything up.

I don't even know anyone else local who even owns a Z haha. Oh well, learning experience I guess. I'll try again tomorrow. Just need a mini fuse. A low profile fuse won't fit. So maybe 2 mini fuses.

Civic. And it's just for a dashcam. I'm safe. Never even got to plug anything in.

Yep 2 mini fuses. Max allowed for add a circuit is 10A per slot.

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.

I'll be trying it this weekend. The company I bought the fuses from is shipping me the correct fuse kit. Maintenance team at work can go old school on crimping. Only thing left is eventually running the hardwire kit and seeing where that square thing can be hidden.

Now I don't know what you have or what you're trying install so with that said, you're likely trying to hardwire something into your fuse box (obviously, with the picture of the fuse tap). The wiring that you have is likely 2 wires, a power wire and a ground wire. Ground wire, you ground to the chasis of the car. The power wire, you're running that into the the fuse tap. Its fairly easy.

Im just guessing here, because I'm not sure of the parts & pieces you have in front of you.

eastwest2300 11-17-2015 08:11 PM

If I were you, I would pull the panel off the box (located on the bottom left side almost on the floor where your left foot is when you sit in your seat) and look at the panel that you removed so you know what fuses you're looking at, if I had to guess, I'm guessing you'll want to tap into a 10A fuse, like the radio. 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.

U mean choose wisely...:icon08:
