Good idea! It looks like you are running the power outlet through that 5A fuse, though.

No. Not sure how that 5A is connected to power, but, it would be better to move the wire to the other side of it. That way, you are not going through the 5A fuse first.
Also, you are bypassing the 20A fuse that way. Seems like you should just move both wires to the other side. |

Correct. "Safe" being after fuse, but, for what you are doing, it should be the other side.

This seems like the easiest way to do this . Have you had any problems ?
And did you keep the wire on that side of that 5A fuse? |

I know this is old, but can anyone comment about which side of the fuses to wire together and explain why more clearly?

On another note, if your supplying power to an ignition circuit, when that circuit is supposed to be off, doesnt that mean your supplying everything ignition controlled with power? Electricity will back flow. May wanna check that. Just bc you can doesnt mean you should.
Could that be the reason battery dies in 3 days and not from a phone being charged. Yes cig lighter is only drawing when phone is plugged in but all the other circuits your feeding by supplying power to them could be the cause . A diode on the cig supply side would correct this but not sure you wanna tear apart fuse box to add it bc it would need to be installed before the fuse. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk |

If you were supplying power to the outlets from another source while it is still connected to the fuse box, that could back feed some circuits. A phone charger will draw current when plugged in even without a phone connected. Here is another method to power the outlets: Accessory Power Plug(s) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums - Camaro5.com

"2 unfused sources together"
I don't quite follow. You are bypassing the first fuse, but def not the second, so I'm not sure what the import of this statement is. Further, could you connect the output of the first fuse to the input of the second, then you'd have two fuses before it gets to the lighter right? |
