I can’t find any wiring diagram or description of this on the website.
Accelevision 6710PT Standard 10 Amp Low-Profile Fuses
But it seems that they just tap the wire into the load side of the fuse blade. So you are adding your load onto the existing OEM circuit load. Not an approved electrical practice unless your additional load is very small, like 0.5 Amps or less. Or if you install the fuse in the reverse orientation, so you’re tapping off the unfused +12V side, and you add your own inline fuse to your load. This is a clunky solution.
Plus you still cannot put the OEM fuse block cover on.

I don’t see any advantage to this.

The tap goes on the hot side of the fuse so has no effect on the wire going to device of choice. It’s doing the Same the exact same thing as the add a fuse tap without the bulk. As noted you add a fuse at the tap wire. Cover fits fine , the wire bends at a 90 angle

Too much work. I'd rather use an add-a-circuit and either leave the cover off or wait for an extended one.

That’s cool that it works for you. If you have time could you snap a couple of photos of it installed in the block showing how you formed the lead, and how it comes out under the cover? This may be a good option for people who only have one or two circuits to deal with.

Maybe you misunderstood what I'm talking about. Those are for 3D mapping are they not? I'm talking about the label you want to print out with the fuse layout diagram. But you do you

I don't know about 2021, but I bet it's the same as 2020. Then again

Heads up, I had to get a hair dryer and use it to reshape the clips and tried bending the whole thing down the center a bit. After doing that, it's been solid since August. The only special tool I needed was the hair dryer. You can use whatever crap you've got lying around to create a little "bridge" for the whole unit and whatever weight you can find to apply into the center of it to try to get the curve out of it. Hit it with the hair dryer while you're doing that but not too much to make the plastic too pliable and you should be fine. Same thing with the clips. I recommend a hair dryer and not a heat gun especially for the clips because you don't want it getting too pliable or just turning into goop, and if it's too hot you won't be able to reshape it safely with your fingers.
Just a follow up on this one on eBay. It does not fit.

To clarify... it does fit on the fuse box itself. But it does not fit if you use Add-A-Circuits in certain spots due to the notch on the clasp/snap end. Not sure why that notch is there. But it prevents the cover from seating if you have an add-a-circuit connected to anything in that corner.

I'm running a Switch Pros 9100 system that taps off the tail lights for auto-dimming of the switch panel, for example. This cover will not fit with anything attached to that spot.

It blows my mind that people who "design" these things don't actually think them through. I'll try that Lexus one next. Round 3...

There is now an attached scan for the 2020+ covers in the zip file.
