    I connected up a Rexing dashcam and ran power to the underhood fuse box. I thought I had it connected to an accessory fuse but I was wrong since it's been draining my battery.

    Will someone please recommend a mini ATO fuse to connect to in the underhood fuse box that is only powered on when the key is switched on. I already have an add a fuse ran to it but have since disconnected it due to the battery drainage issue.

    Thanks in advance.

    I thought I had connected it to the Radio No. 2 fuse. I'll recheck.
