I have a 2020 Platinum Explorer. I'm looking to see if anyone has had success using the add a circuit/fuse tap? I have one that matches the fuse type that I have, but it still doesn't fit correctly.

There are possibly too many fuse type/shape options offered. It can be confusing trying to match the type and blade spacing.

I've used fuse taps several times to add components (better horn on my Mazda, radar and dash cam connections on my Limited and on my ST). The radar detector and dash cam are on a switched circuit in the under-dash fuse panel. I used the moon-roof fuse tap, since it's only live with the key and is more than stout enough for the detector and camera. They're on three-amp fuses.

Do you happen to remember which particular add a fuse you used? Maybe I'm just using the wrong one. My issue is that it won't stay in the fuse slot.
 






Fuse #2 in the interior panel is in a switched circuit for the moonroof, telematics control module. According to the manual, it's a "Micro 2". You might pull fuse #2 and compare it to the fuse tap at your local big-box store. WalMart may have 'em, too.

I have a 2025 Explorer and it uses a Ford specific fuse type.
