    I have a dashcam installed that I tapped the fuse box in the cabin. I had it on a fuse spot that is always on. Problem is, I work from home and don't drive regularly enough and it killed my battery. Which fuses are only on when the ignition is on? I thought the wiper spot would work but apparently I'm wrong. Thanks.

    I tapped my dash cam hard wire kit to the "POUTLET2" fuse. POUTLET1 will work as well.
    This works with the ignition.

    The add a fuse in the photo is ignition on only...the wiper circuit. Keep in mind it’s always best to not tap engine management circuits.

    I've seen the 15A fuse near the side of the box that is bolted in used before. Not at my truck now or I'd go tell you which fuse that was specifically.
