    I finally got a hardwire kit for my dashcam I got a while back. Is there a fuse in the cab I can use to tap into for power? I was looking to have the camera stay on while the car is off.

    Go to the auto parts store and ask for an add a fuse. Take a fuse out of the panel behind the cubby in the cab so that you have the correct size to match up with. Replace an existing fuse and it gives you a pigtail to feed another device.

    I have the fuse tap. I was just looking for a fuse with constant power (not just when the truck is on) to plug it into. This way it will stay on and record while the truck is off.
