How to add a fused circuit to your vehicle - how to fuse tap - by VOGMAN

Want to connect a fused circuit / fuse tap your vehicle? Want to power an auxiliary device like a dashcam or power socket? Want it safe, reliable and with clear and simple instructions?
Here I’m looking at adding a fused circuit directly from the fuse box of a vehicle to safely power any auxiliary device adding a fuse tap using a Piggyback Fuse Holder like these...

My car’s fuse box is not very convenient for making a video, so I used a model fuse board and a few helpful diagrams to make this really simple to understand.
I also very quickly run through some extremely basic electronics, particularly in relation to vehicles, to give you the knowledge to safely connect circuits in the future.
I ensure that the connection is safe and secure by using a piggyback fuse holder which provides a stable, reliable connection and a fused outlet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some folks are bothered by Piggyback Fuse Holders. I've had many comments about them. To help appease these folks I conducted a fuller investigation of the Piggyback which you can see online here - • Piggyback Fuse Holders...
The outcome of this was that in my opinion the Piggyback is safe and dependable. It can be fitted either way and will still work correctly. However, if fitted incorrect and IF the original fuse blows, then it will not provide power (until the fuse is replaced).
SAFETY CONCERN:
Whilst fitting a Piggyback Fuse Holder / Wire Tap is acceptable, there is the danger of overload. I strongly recommend watching my video dedicated to the subject here - • Piggyback Fuse Holder ...

Wow, that is absolutely the best instructional video I've ever seen anywhere. Extremely thorough, well organized, and the diagrams are fantastic. Thank you very much.

[@vogman]

+Scott Jacobs Thanks Scott. That's very kind of you. I always think I waffle too much ; ) Your kind words are much appreciated.

[@vogman]

+Scott Jacobs Hi Scott, perhaps you'll enjoy this video on Relays : kzbin.info/www/bejne/imLSY2yBibuViqc Best wishes, Geoff

[@1943L]

I agree, the best and most understandable video. Just what I needed. The ‘wrong way round’ is a red herring, I believe.

[@adamhamel9784]

I never thought I could understand anything under the hood of a car. The instructions in this video seriously gave me an enlightening. I would press "like" a thousand times if I could. Actually I can, but you know...

[@vogman]

Thanks Adam 😊

[@wolfjarl4959]

Excellent and informative. There is only one thing I would add, it is regarding the idea of correct versus incorrect orientation of piggyback plugs. For the example as demonstrated in the video itself, "correct - there is no appreciable difference in power supplied to both devices". This is expected behaviour. However, if we consider the construction of the piggyback plug, it becomes apparent that there is indeed a right way and a wrong way to connect them, particularly where higher current draw devices are concerned. Remembering VOG's description of how the piggyback is constructed, there is a pin common to both fuses. For higher current draw devices this _has_ to be on the battery side (hot pin) of the fuse box. Fuses are designed to open circuit (blow) when a certain current level is exceeded, and it should be obvious that if your piggyback plug goes in the wrong way around, then the piggybacked device you've added will be drawing its current through both its fuse as well as the existing one. i.imgur.com/SZafLle.png On low current devices like LEDs and Go Pro cameras, you wouldn't expect any difference. Combine headlights, car fridges and the like on an incorrectly oriented piggyback plug however and you might well find yourself repeatedly blowing one of the fuses when both devices are active - it really depends on how much current you are drawing and how much margin for overcurrent your car manufacturer allowed for when they minted your vehicle. If you're planning on using a piggyback plug, remember the section in the video where VOG shows you how to identify which fuse pins are the ignition switched power sources and which ones are always live. The pin that reads 12v off the multimeter should be the common fuse pin of the piggyback plug, both in terms of practicality and safety (at least on higher current draw devices) and it might just save you a little extra heartache in some cases. Or you can check out some of the other videos that show you how to add extra fuses to your existing fusebox and elect to do it that way. A little more time consuming, but only a little and the end result will look tidier, as well as being considered more roadworthy in some jurisdictions. Just my grossly overpriced two cents worth. ;-)

[@pkjones5263]

Great explanation, straight to the point. No jargon, no thumping music drowning you out and very well explained.

[@abunbreaker430]

Clearest instruction I have watched so far. I've watched many other videos like this, but your video gives me clearest understanding of how a fuse works. However I am concerned that toward the end, you said there is no 'wrong way' to install the fuse tap. This you prove with the two small lights. From other videos I watched and understood, your experiment with the two lights work because the wire is not shorted. In case of shortage or overcurrent, a wrongly installed fuse tap will not blow the fuse. Instead it will continue to supply current along the wire until it burns down. I am no electrical expert so I may be wrong.

[@anthonyvidana2654]

This is an excellent presentation on the Add A Fuse circuit, you did a good job.It is important to install the fuse in the correct position. Yes either way will furnish the power required but not the fuse protection to the new circuit device. Once you have selected the fuse location install the add a fuse device without any fuses mounted on it. Then test to see if voltage is coming out of the lead. If there none then you have the device plug in the correct way. Then install the fuse to the device there should now be power to that lead. The fuse is now protecting the new circuit.

[@Roger-ob2ft]

Which one is the lead

[@lewisclark5694]

Damn, you’re good at this instructional stuff. Best I’ve ever seen. Very clear, nothing left out, very understandable. Thank you!

[@dthorati]

You are very right. The presentation at the end is wrong, which says that in any direction you can insert the piggyback unit. Your test idea is awesome, that helps in making sure that the current goes via fuse and not directly.

[@jhwaterf]

This isn't quite right. See the illustration at 8:53 - any time the top fuse is missing, whether or not the piggyback is plugged in the right way, there will be no power to the wire lead. Any time two good fuses are in the piggyback, there will be power to the wire lead, even if it's plugged in backward. The difference is if it's backward, power will go through both fuses to reach the wire lead, via the common blade. To test if the piggyback is plugged in right, you can leave the bottom fuse missing but plug in the top fuse. If there's power at the lead, the piggyback is plugged in the right way. If it's plugged in the wrong way, power will not be able to go through the bottom fuse to reach the common blade, top fuse and wire lead, so this is a valid test.

[@diamondheat9]

@@jhwaterf The fact the Add A Fuse works in both positions proves the illustration is incorrect as the top fuse holder must also contact the bottom fuse holder.

[@normanhew-shue2273]

A born educator- Thanks for clearing the cobwebs for a dunce like me!

[@vingianni]

Aside from the volume being a bit low for ambient noise, this is an excellent presentation, very clear and descriptive to understand. Vin

[@vogman]

Many thanks for the feedback : )

[@lucaviggiani2189]

Fantastic! In one video, I found out how to find the hot side of a fuse, what the multimeter will read while testing both sides of the empty fuse holder and which part of the piggy back shuld be plugged ino the hot side. I've looked in various forums and most of them descend into petty arguments about the correct way to do it. Opinions getting in the way of facts. This video, on the other hand is easy to understand, concise and logical. I'm forever grateful.

[@vogman]

Thanks Luca. I appreciate that : )

[@986C]

If KZbin content was required to be this informative and well thought out as this video was, there would be about 6 videos in total.

[@vogman]

That's very kind.

[@NewTuber21]

A bit late to the party but a brilliant instructional video! Simple, clear, jargon free... Perfect. Thank you

[@alexsoul247]

Thank you Sir. After 3 hours of watching videos how to hardwire my new dash cam - this is the only video I really needed to watch. I greatly appreciate your help and time you have invested. It helped immensely and gave me not only knowledge I needed, but total confidence in what I am about to DIY. Thank you

[@vogman]

Thanks Alex. I appreciate that : )

[@greedysoprey]

Excellent,please make more videos,exactly what I was looking for "The Right Answer".

[@vogman]

+Benny 69 Many thanks Benny. Pleased I could help.

[@IvyBryan30]

i've been searching around to gain some knowledge on how to install my dashcam properly and this is the best. Solved all questions in mind. I love you man.

[@vogman]

Glad I could help : )

[@rudolfhuijs4526]

Best explanation of piggyback connectors out there. Amazing and a must-see for all those folks adding accessories to their vehicles. Excellent video!!

[@vogman]

Thanks Rudolf : )

[@phall9895]

Great video! I typically watch videos until I'm confident enough to proceed with current project, most of the time this means watching many videos. However, your video was so well organized and explained that I will conclude my research with this video and proceed with my project without any further delay. A sincere thank you for taking the time to create and share your knowledge with myself and others!! Thank you!

[@vogman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jj5585]

Great step by step explanation with easy to follow diagrams and instructions. I Believe the point about putting fuse tap in the wrong way refers to the fact that if put in wrong way the power will still go to device but it won't actually go via the fuse so if something was to blow or short circuit the fuse wouldn't be a buffer zone so the power could go direct to the device and could damage it. JJ

[@maodi1062]

Thanks for clearly explain the difference between "switched in" and "permanent in". It helps me a lot! Thanks.

[@Kuri2kay]

Appreciate you taking the time to make such an informative video. Thank you. It's very helpful for a project i'm going to start. Cheers.

[@vogman]

Glad I could help.

[@toggler6985]

Well… I’ve learned something new today and thankyou for this but that plasticine illustration… only a Brit would think of that, made my day lol. Cheers from Melbourne Australia.

[@stemer1149]

Thank you very much for the excellent description. I wasn't aware of the in/out concept regarding the fuse box before, but it all makes sense now. (I will be installing a new dashcam with permanent wiring. The old one was just installed using the 12V outlet in the dash, which was a mess).

[@vogman]

That's great to hear. I'm glad it was helpful for you.

[@variety6417]

I don't normally comment on any videos on KZbin, but I had to in this instance. This is probably the best instruction video I've seen. It's very clear and precise and just to the simple level I was looking for. It answered my questions and fears of wiring up a new dashcam to my car. I'm going to crack on and do it this weekend now! Brilliant video. Keep it up!!!

[@alwayzn01]

Wow, that is absolutely the best instructional video on the basics of automotive fuses I've ever seen anywhere. Thanks.

[@vogman]

Many thanks : )

[@marp7133]

Excellent informative video!! I must admit, I was brainwashed after watching so many videos and internet. This is the right way to plug in and what not :) Nicely explained with diagrams and dummy fuse box. LED experiment was eye opener!! Well done and carry on! Thank you very much.

[@FrankHotdog]

This is an extremely thorough and talented instruction. You covered all of the bases. Thank you very much. I was leery about using an Add-A-Circuit in my new truck, but I feel much better now. Keep up the good work.

[@ejrocksKABOOM]

Only video that explained everything from the beginning. all the others were using piggyback fuse holders and i had no clue what they were doing. only video that really helped.

[@vogman]

+Ethan Nunnally Hi Ethan. That's very kind of you. Thanks.

[@mayurraja513]

What a great video! Even a numpty like me understood it. That's saying something. Thanks VogMan 👌

[@ahstrewth]

Clear , concise and factual. Made maximum use of visual and audio for the explanation which speeds understanding and retention. The tools of a real instructor. What a relief - I just wasted the best part of two hours on another site with some apparently well-qualified and well meaning people doing their utmost to explain how a piggy back fuse worked and how to ensure a safe install. They ended up putting me on speed dial to an auto electrician - but then I detoured and found this site. Problem solved in 12 mins 54 secs. I dips me lid, mate.

[@vogman]

Wow. That's possibly the most thoughtful comment anyone's ever made. Thanks : D

[@Slothieify]

I'm a complete car and electricity idiot - but was able to successfully hardwire footwell LEDs using your explanation. You are a god among men, thank you for being so thorough and explanatory in your tutorials.

[@vogman]

Hi Andriy. Thanks for your very kind comments. You certainly made me laugh : ) 'God among men,' I'm most definitely not, but I am happy to share a little knowledge and help where I can. Have you checked out my relay video? Once you understand relays, you can really get stuck into auto electrics - kzbin.info/www/bejne/imLSY2yBibuViqc Many thanks!

[@Slothieify]

Yeah, I went through and watched all your relevant tutorials actually. Genuinely learned more than I could have ever imagined in this field. I'm actually amazed you find the time to respond to comments on videos with hundreds of thousands of views - genuinely incredible. Thanks again!

[@vogman]

Thanks Andriy. The truth is I enjoy it : )

[@tealwombraider]

I'm wanting to hardwire some footwell LEDs in my car as well and I'm trying to learn just as you did. I understand everything up to the part of 8:49 in the video. Where am i getting this new fuse? Do I buy just another fuse? *Edit: I now see when buying the Add-a-Circuit it comes with a fuse

[@KookiDowg]

Thank you for this! I wanted to install some aftermarket gauges and a bluetooth module that gets soldered into the L and R channels of my oem radio and they all work! Hell yeah

[@andyboard2903]

Excellent video, thank you so much. I couldn’t find a decent source anywhere to test fuses for switched live. Your video got my dash cam up and running in no time 👍🏻

[@stercero75]

ABSOLUTELLY INCREDIBLE VIDEO, CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS MAN !!!!!

[@brendonrutherford5118]

I've watched heaps of these types of videos but this particular video is absolutely the "TOPS" by far!! Graphics are EXCELLENT, clear, concise & so easy to understand for mere amatuers like myself!! The voice over is also of a good standard of "English" & he doesn't talk too fast or mumble or roll his words together like certain English dialects have a habit of doing. I can find no problem within this video whereby I personally could not understand or comprehend of what was either being shown or spoken of!! Again this video needs to be the standard used for this type of on-line communication & irrespective of the subject matter as I'm sure it will admirably fit most if not all fields!! Again I reiterate that I really can't believe how "GOOD TECHNICALLY THIS VIDEO IS" Who ever put this video together rest assured is no mere amatuer & certainly knows what they are doing absolutely!!

[@vogman]

Thanks very much Brendon 😁

[@Sangsoodomaki]

Thank you for the instructions, it made it very clear on how to add a circuit and it cleared up the piggyback installation!

[@vogman]

That's very kind, thanks. Do look out for my OVERLOAD video though... Piggybacks are great but if you push too much current through them you could damage other wiring. Best wishes, Geoff

[@magnusnordstrm2827]

[@charlesterwilliams1736]

Man I am about to embark on pitting LED lights in the engine campartment of my Porsche and the forums are telling me to tap into 12 volts in my fuse box which I know absolutely nothing about. So I did a youtube search and came across this video. the instructions were so clear that I feel like an expert on how to add a fused circuit to the vehicle. This was made so clear and simple that I am rushing out to the car to tackle this project, which before seeing this video I had absolutely no idea what the task entailed. Perhaps one of the best instructional I have seen on youtube. I see in the comments you reference your video on relays. I hope that is as good as this one because I really want to learn how to use relays in auto applications. Great job man!!

[@vogman]

+Charlester Williams Hi Chatlester, Thanks very much for your very kind comments. When I make a video I always say to myself if it helps just one person then it was worth it, so when I hear from people like you it makes my day. Glad I could help. As for the relay video, you'll have to judge for yourself. It's a little more technical but now you've grasped the basics I'm confident you'll find it easy. But if you do have any problems, drop me a line. I'll do my best to help. Best wishes, Geoff

[@jackt6112]

Profusely explained so everyone can understand. Nice touch at the end where you make note that having it in backwards is no catastrophe. If it is in backwards, the bottom fuses the load of piggy backed circuit, which could be a good thing. On the flip side, if the bottom fuse blows, both circuits stop. No matter how you look at it, it beats the stars wrapping a wire on a fuse post that might unwind and touch both sides and negate the fuse or cause intermittent connection. It also beats the stars out of hacking the wiring loom that inevitably turns into a mystery to solve for someone later.

[@vogman]

[@vogman]

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some folks are still bothered by Piggyback Fuse Holders. I've had several comments about them. To help appease these folks I conducted a fuller investigation of the Piggyback which you can see here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ6lkmioh7-Vec0 The outcome of this was that in my opinion the Piggyback is safe and dependable. It can be fitted either way and will still work correctly. However, if fitted incorrectly and IF the original fuse blows, then it will not provide power (until the fuse is replaced). I don't consider this a safety issue... more an inconvenience. Fuses usually don't blow after all...

[@atkin207]

Hi I wanted to use the piggyback fuse holder but if I want to use it I can't put the fuse box cover back on. The fuse box is under the steering wheel so I don't think it's best to keep it uncovered. Is there any alternatives I can do? The fuse cover only gives around 1-2mm of room above the fuses. Or shall I just do a make-shift cover?

[@vogman]

Hi Andrew. Wow, that's not a lot of clearance. If you have a spare fuse holder, maybe something like this would work... www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/garage-equipment/fuses-electricals-fixings/halfords-fuse-mini-blade-with-breakout-wire-15-amp-hfs281 You'd probably still have to bend the trailing wire 90 degrees, but you might get away with that. Otherwise the next easiest solution is a home-made cover, as you've already suggested. If it makes you feel any better, I've been driving for months now without attaching the cover to my under-dashboard fuse cover. I keep forgetting to put it back on and as I can't see it, I never remember : ) But as long as it doesn't cause a problem (like letting you accidentally poke a hand in there, etc) it shouldn't be an issue. Hope this helps. Best wishes Geoff

[@henrybarnett]

Even if I am a few years late I have to add that that's the absolutely the best presented, "How to" video I've ever seen, and I've seen a few! I have just ordered some piggyback fuse holders and I was intrigued by your video. I also read the comments about plugging in the piggyback the wrong way. It will only work correctly if the common pair on the piggyback is on the live side of the fuse (left in your video). If it is plugged in the other way it will work BUT the electricity goes through the first fuse before going through its own fuse. Therefore it's only unsafe if the fuses are different ratings.

[@roy4975]

Simple effective presentation. Informative and useful. Well done and thanks.

[@andyz1775]

At the end of the video... the issue is the piggyback fuse holder connected in the fuse box one way will connect the "device" to the +12v side of the original fuse. Connected the other way will connect the "device" to the load side of the original fuse which will put the device fuse in series with the original (larger) fuse. That is my understanding of how these piggyback fuse holders are wired. So one way (backwards) both fuses will be in series- If the bigger fuse pops due it's device pulling too much current then the device we just installed will go out too. One would need to measure the volts coming out of the piggyback fuse holder, with it connected to the fuse box, rather than measuring directly from the fuse box to find which way to orient the piggyback fuse holder into the fuse box. Great video by the way.

[@TheMushroomMan]

Fantastic! Your videos are extremely informative and answer all my questions that came up. Thank you!

Astonished!!! I was going through hell trying to get a 12v connection from my cigarette lighter cables (dismantle dashboard and so on). You saved me so much trouble with this, thanks a lot!

Cars... they fall apart when you don't want them to and seem indestructible when you want to remove a little trim : ) Glad I could help.

scoured the web and youtube because my solar powered battery maintainer needs to have a live connection to the accessory plug when the ignition is off. When my ignition is off, the accessory plug has no power. This is by far the best video in the world. I was getting desperate and considered hot wiring. What a joy to see VegOilGuy . I instantly recognized him from an oil burner video. Time to subscribe!
