Are you talking about the positioning of the add a fuse?

the position really doesn’t matter as long as its making contact and you have the two fuses connected at the top of the add a fuse. The fuse # is 71. If I recall correctly when I installed mine there was a “latch” that would close over the fuses - I could no longer pull that latch down to securely hold down the fuses but I never had issues with them coming out.

Hope that is clear enough. If you guys need more help, feel free to PM me.
Hello, I know this treacd is pretty old but if possible could you tell me how to hook upthe green fakra cable to the 2 green fakra slots at other bottom, I'm having trouble with my backup camera. Thanks in advance

Why don't people use
position 83 - Reversing Camera or
position 84 - Backup Camera Control Unit and Power Supply
