Metra Add-A-Circuit Fuse Tap | ATC/ATO Blade Fuse Adapter

This Metra Add-A-Circuit Fuse Tap is an essential tool for cleanly and safely adding a new 12V accessory circuit to your vehicle's fuse box. Designed for standard ATC/ATO blade-type fuses, this adapter allows you to draw power from an existing circuit without cutting or splicing factory wires, enabling a professional, reversible installation for dash cams, radar detectors, lights, and other low-to-moderate power devices.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Dual-Fuse Protection: Features two separate fuse slots – one for the original vehicle circuit (to maintain its factory protection) and one for your new accessory circuit. This ensures both systems remain independently protected.

• Plug-and-Play Installation: Simply plug the tap into an existing ATC/ATO fuse slot in your vehicle's interior fuse panel and plug the original fuse into the designated slot on the tap.

• Power Mode Flexibility: By choosing which fuse slot to tap into (e.g., ignition-switched "ACC" or constant "BATT"), you can set your new accessory to turn on with the key or remain powered at all times (for parking mode, etc.).

• Secure Connection & Built-In Lead: The tap terminates in a secure, insulated pigtail wire lead (typically 16-18 AWG), ready to be connected to your accessory's power wire.

• Preserves Factory Wiring: Enables accessory installation with zero permanent modification to your vehicle's electrical system.

Common Applications:

• Hardwiring Dash Cams: Provides a switched or constant power source for professional dash cam installation.

• Adding Accessory Power: Installing radar detectors, GPS units, LED lighting, USB chargers, or other electronics.

• Clean 12V Source: Creating a dedicated, fused power take-off for any custom electrical project.

Installation Note:

1. Identify an appropriate ATC/ATO fuse slot in your fuse box that matches your desired power mode (use a fuse tester or vehicle manual).

2. Remove the chosen fuse, insert it into the ORIGINAL CIRCUIT slot on the tap.

3. Insert a new fuse of the correct amperage for your accessory into the NEW CIRCUIT slot on the tap.

4. Plug the entire tap into the vacant slot in the fuse box.

5. Connect the tap's pigtail wire to your accessory's positive (+) wire.

Package Includes: 1 x Metra ATC/ATO Add-A-Circuit Fuse Tap with pigtail lead.
