Add A Fuse Tap Too Big - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

For those of you who have hardwired dashcams, radar, etc. I know I'm supposed to tap into either F17 or F18 for the cigarette lighter, but my add a fuse tap physically doesn't fit because of the two relays on both sides of those spots. If I remove a relay my tap fits perfectly. Did anyone go my route and know of an add a fuse tap that's physically small enough too fit? Or large enough to clear over the relays?

Try auto zone for the fuse tap. I have mounted between the relays.

I had the issue, my solution was to make sure it is secured.. However, it is still slanted... I havn't had issues.

I just installed one of those. As noted, it won't go straight into the slot. I simply bent both tabs a bit to get the tap to clear the relay. Works just fine.
