Tapping Into Fuse Box Circuits 2016 LC

[planetalaska]

The user manual for the 2016 LC doesn't show the list of fuses with the description of each circuit. In the 2011 manual, that information was included.
I'm trying to tap into the driver side fuse box to install a dash cam. In my 2011, I tapped into the "ACC" fuse and I'm trying to replicate the same set up with the 2016 LC. However, the fuse circuits are different now and without the info in the user manual, I need clarification. Which of the 2 fuses in the picture should I tap into? Or is it better to tap into the 15 amp "CIG" fuse in the middle?

Thanks.

On my 16 LC I have connected camera per picture. Hard to see if it was the 30A or 10A (ACU-IG or WIPER), but if I remember correctly it was 30A ACU-IG.

Hi Luke,

do you get power when car is off by attaching to that fuse?

If you want to fuse that accessory wire separately, they sell add-a-fuse setups that allow you to use the fuse slot for the original purpose and add a separate fused circuit.

They're inexpensive, and a tidy way to add additional fused circuits to protect your equipment. I've used them for trigger wires on my switchpro.

The type for the ATM mini fuse also works, even though our rigs use the low profile micro fuses. I originally learned this from HKB (MK1 Mini Blade 7.5A (Fusible link version) (Micro blade compatible) | HKB Electronics) and have been using the larger style add-a-fuse, since it seems to be more firmly inserted than the low profile version that I tried.

Do you know if theres an appropriate ACC fuse to tap in the engine bay fuse block? I'm installing a switch panel, and was planning to use the "DOME" slot, but it remains hot after the vehicle is off. I'd like to avoid going back through the firewall just for an ACC fuse, but I think I might be missing something if dome lights stay hot.

Thanks.
