Grumble:

Thank you for this. I couldn't find a on/off in the 2018. Is that a spare/acc fuse or does it go with another truck electrical component?

Again, thanks

Add a Circuit should have been a easy job, but no, ford f150 has tight fitting slots in the fuse box.

I tried this fuse, and if I cut the black ridge off, it now slides in.

A better tap a fuse is this one,
Bussmann BP/HHTR-RP ATR Add-A-Line Circuit For Accessory

I just wired my camera yesterday. I can confirm fuse 36 is accessory (on and off with ignition)
and I can confirm that the "better fuse tap" mentioned above works perfectly. Thanks for all
you guys input. Makes life easier for the rest of us.

This may seem like a stupid question, but do you put a fuse in both of the slots on that Bussmann add-a-circuit? If so, what size fuse did you use?

I tried getting power to my Papago camera through hardwiring it to the fuse box and for some reason it blocks the signal from the TPMS to the body control module. I then tried using just a regular shielded usb cable and am having the same issue. Essentially, if I have the camera powered on, I will get a code saying the TPMS is malfunctioning.

One of the 2 fuse slots is for the fuse you removed to protect the original circuit, the other fuse slot is to protect the circuit you are adding (wire attached to fuse tap).

I have no idea about your TPMS malfunction, other than maybe your camera(s) are emitting interference.

You could try powering the cameras with a separate (not truck) power source to see if the TPMS still malfunctions.

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Trying to power it from another source is a great idea. I’ll have to give that a shot.

Does anyone know which fuses in passenger fuse box are constant hot and ignition only specifically for a 2020 Ford Raptor 802A? I can find maps like the links below, but nothing tells me what’s hot and not when car is on and off. Thanks.
