    It is my understanding that there is a correct way to insert the add a fuse but I don't recall which way is correct.

    Anyone care to explain?

    Here's a few good YouTube videos that talk to this. Has to do with how fuse taps are wired. MESO's fuse box cover is great for this as it's taller than the stock cover and has punch outs for the wires. The stock cover likely won't close with a fuse tap installed (I'm specifically referencing the under dash box). Also buy quality fuses. Cheap Chinese fuses often are misrated.

    So in a 3G 2023, is the center rail of the fuse panel the positive / hot / supply side and the outer rails the load / acc side?
