    Man i am wearing this site out, this has been the best place for information and thanks
    to all you people for the help. NOW got the interior fuse cover off and i see one
    empty fuse slot but where do i connect a hot wire to that fuse, do i need to pull something
    off to get to a place to terminate the hot wire on that particular fuse. Im pretty sure some
    of you folks have went through this before. Any help would be appreciated.

    Alot of people use the p1/outlet. I used that for my auxbeam 8 gang switch. You will need add a fuse.

    I was hoping to use a fuse in side the truck instead of going through the firewall

    Yes it is inside the truck, its on the left side of the driver side near the kick panel. You can't miss it.

    I see the fuse panel and one empty slot where a fuse could go. But where would the positive wire connect to the fuse. Does fuse panel need to un bolted and pulled down to see where a wire could be connected?

    you buy a add a fuse and that connects to the power wire and then the add a fuse goes into the fuse slot along with the current fuse thats in there.

    My dual usb came with a fuse, I guess what I’m asking do you just jam in in beside one leg of the fuse, I took a pic but haven’t figured out how to up load it yet.

    This is the Q-com dual USB 3.0 and it comes with looks to be an inline fuse. I just need to figure out where to get 12 volts on the red wire and I will just ground the black wire, I guess I would like to know the best source to get the 12 volts.
    Thanks

    Do not jam a wire in the fuse box. Use one of these (available on Amazon and at many parts stores).

    Add-a-circuit or fuse tap

    You should be able to pick them up at local automotive stores.

    I have got the fuse tap in, and is working great
    One question can’t get my fuse cover back on because the fuse tap is up too high, is there alternative fuse cover that might work to cover the fuses.
    Thanks
