I show you how power is routed through an automotive blade style fuse tap so you can see why it's important to install the fuse tap correctly in the fuse box fuse socket.

Please note, the fuse tap installation method demonstrated in this video is providing both fuses in the fuse tap with power directly from the fuse box fuse socket. This approach is routing the power "in parallel" to both fuse sockets in the fuse tap. I typically use this approach when installing fuse taps and that's why I call it the "correct approach" of installing a fuse tap.

You can install the fuse tap into the fuse box fuse socket so the fuse box fuse socket power is provided to the right leg of the fuse tap. That approach is known as "in series" power routing. If you're concerned about potentially overloading the circuit that supplies power to the fuse box fuse socket, you may want to use this approach. The "in series" routing will cause all of the amperage load to be run through the bottom fuse tap fuse socket's fuse.
