Trying to hardwire my Blackvue 650S with a Multi Safer hardwiring kit, which is supposed to be a lot more reliable and only needs constant power and ground (instead of power, accessory, and ground)
When I tried to install it today into a free cavity on the fuse box, I blew the 5 amp fuse the second it made contact with the fuse box. Thinking I put it in wrong, I grabbed the spare 5 amp fuse from the car and tried that, blew that one too.
Went to Autozone and called Honda and thought since the Multi Safer says it can run up to 8 amps @ times that I should try a better fuse.
So I went for a 15 amp fuse and this time I unplugged the Multi Safer before putting the fuse tap into the fuse box. Once I went to connect the wiring to the Multi Safer, I heard a pop and smelled burnt circuit. The 15 amp fuse is fine weirdly enough, but I'm not sure if the Multi Safer is ok, I'll probably need a new one.
Am I doing something wrong here? I am soldering the wires to my fuse taps for good connections and I'm grounding the multi safer on the same bolt that I grounded my radar detector which I also hard wired at the same time today and works fine....
