Hi all

Just in the middle of fitting and was going to use fuse 2, the thing is fuse 2 seems combined with fuse 1 and is a 3 bladed single fuse, so how do I put my piggy back fuse in here? Do I just put my 2 bladed piggy back fuse in the same slot as the 3 bladed fuse?

Thanks,
Neale

Please note, it is fuse 2 in the owners manual diagram, not the fuse marked 2 on the actual fuse board. A photo of what you are seeing may help.

Fuse 2 is two pronged and is a micro type.

Would appreciate of you know!!! Thank you!

ACC short for accessory, most people use fuse 2 in the diagram below. It is controlled by the ignition switch so turns the dash cam on when the engine is running and goes off with the ignition off.

Hi I have a Ford puma st and would like to fit a dash cam with the parking mode, I was wondering if someone could help regarding which fuses To piggy back into as I don’t want to piggy back into the wrong component and cause any damage
Many thanks
John
