   Image: Illustration showing the location of a vehicle's fuse box, typically near the driver's footwell.

2. Identify Battery & ACC Fuses: To check fuse locations, use a multimeter on DC voltage after turning off the vehicle. 12V or 24V indicates a Battery connection, while 0V indicates an ACC connection.
3. Recheck the Fuses: With the ignition turned on, use the multimeter to test the Battery and ACC fuse positions identified in Step 2. Both should show a voltage of approximately 12V or 24V. If not, repeat Step 2.
4. Remove the Selected Fuses: Use a fuse puller to remove the fuses from the previously identified Battery and ACC positions.
5. Insert the Removed Fuses: Check the type of the removed fuses and confirm the correct fuse model. Then insert each fuse into the corresponding fuse tap.

6. Connect the Fuse Tap: Insert the metal strands of the hardwire cable into the metal tube of the fuse tap, then use needle-nose pliers to crimp the metal tube tightly.
7. Install the Fuse Tap: Insert the fuse tap back into the fuse box and secure it properly to ensure a stable connection.
8. Install the Ground Wire (Black): Select a metal screw near the fuse box, loosen the screw, insert the Ground wire's metal terminal under the screw, and then tighten the screw securely.
