    yep those are the ones I used. In the fuse access panel I think I used the 7.5a ignition accessory fuse. Worked well - and it’s keyed power so it doesn’t stay on if the truck is off.
    Cool and works well if you have cell phone service. I wanted to install mine because I go camping in the late fall / winter / early spring in Michigan and want to know in real time if the roads might be getting icy.

    Just plug the fuse tap into the fuse location as if it were a fuse, then plug the original fuse into the fuse tap. Just make sure you follow the mfg diagram about fuse order.
