    I need both a constant/battery fuse and a switched/ignition fuse from the fuse panel under the hood.

    I am using them for a trigger wire (relay?) only and NOT powering the accessory directly from it!

    I believe I can use the top 10A INJ fuse for my switched trigger? What about the constant trigger?

    I've heard something before about one of the fuses coming back on after a few hours for a systems check -- I don't want that one lol.

    Did you ever figure this out? Trying to find an ignition only fuse in the engine bay as well for a relay. I believe the INJ comes on every few hours to test.

    If your Taco has the towing package, use the IGN wire to the battery charger relay or the wire from that relay to the tail(towing 7 pin) before it leaves the engine bay fuse/relay box.

    I ended up using the interior driver side fuse panel under the steering wheel; I used the "7.5A-USB" for switched and the "20A-DOOR F/R" for constant.

    Sorry my previous comment was incorrect... I went and checked and this is how I've set mine up:

    DASHCAM CONSTANT - 15A - HAZ
    DASHCAM SWITCHED - 15A - P/OUTLET NO. 1

    SWITCH PANEL CONSTANT - 20A - S/ROOF
    SWITCH PANEL SWITCHED - 7.5A - USB

    All of these in the interior driver side fuse panel under the steering wheel.
