I have purchased a Yada Wireless backup camera and would prefer to hardwire the monitor to a fuse rather than connecting to the cigar-lighter socket.
The Tada manual suggests connecting to a "fused accessory power source" and to refer to the owners' manual for the location of available accessory fuses.
I have looked in the manual and can find nothing to guide me on how to do this, and which circuit would be appropriate. The backup lights circuit would do the job, I guess, but it is not identified in my manual.
Can anyone recommend how to locate a suitable fuse?

 

buy a fuse tap from Canadian Tire and connect your monitor to it. If the system has other uses than just backup, pick a fuse that's always on when the car is running like fuse #26 or 27. See owners manual for drivers side fuse box diagram. Or # 20 for just the backup lights

 

Thank you for your speedy response. The camera has no other use other than for backing up, so I guess it will be the fuse at #20.
The fuse tap you mention: are these universal or will I need a particular type?
Thanks again.

 

The reason I asked about the fuse tap is because it's a 20K drive to the nearest Canadian Tire and I don't want to arrive there unprepared.

 

take out fuse @20 aand see which of these work best in the store https://www.google.ca/search?q=fuse+...HS0RAzEQsAQIJg

 

Thanks a million "nevernu". Really appreciate your advice.
However, I've decided to have Canadian Tire do the installation. It looks to be beyond my limited capabilities and I don't fancy fiddling around behind the dashboard panels.
The job will be done next Monday and they figure around $80. (plus our taxes). I guess the mechanic will know what a fuse tap is!
Your info on which fuse to tap will save him time.
Will post a picture of the finished job.

 

Job finished up costing $168, including tax. No picture but it's working fine. Mechanic tapped into Fuse #20, as nevernu suggested.
