Fuse description or diagram

Can anyone please post a fuse block description for an NCV3. Today I began my installation of backup camera, monitor, subwoofer and Pioneer App Radio (just released) and speakers in my 2011 NCV3 Passenger. I needed top connect a fuse piggyback tap for the camera and sub. All terminate under driver's seat. The sub is 10A max and I used #27 and the camera/monitor i'm guessing is 5A max so I used #8 block. I want them to both activate when key is turned on. These seemed OK for now but I'm doing hit or miss with a voltmeter. Thanks all.

The information you seek is on the Australasian side as it's the most descriptive in it's pure form.

Reason it's on the OZ side, is so it can be found as the years pass on by.:smilewink:

Thank you Richard but my 2011 passenger 2500 sprinter's drivers seat fuse block looks nothing like this. Hopefully someone may have access to the one that matches mine.

Your right Richard. I actually saw a number of places I could tap large power. I guess I wanted to use the piggy back fuse connectors because I had them and it was clean. I just wanted to know what was there. I could also yank the fuses and see what dies however a diagram would be clearer and not reinventing the wheel.

Professionals are not dummy's as to alliteration and come backs "like blame MB and the blame game":bash:
IMHAHO bast to build a dedicated electrical system that does not link to MB's electrical systems as to the complexity of the PSM if added
and the Can bus chit chatting with the ECU as to voltage pulses.
Three ways of doing this go direct to the battery mains start link in a fuse followed by an ignition protected cut out switch folwwed by an EK1 +1 terminal that requires a relay , of which is linked to a speratew Saftey hub like Blue seas offers many variations, this allows you to build a dream run with out problems.

Two run off aux same principle with a separate Microprocessor to recharge both batteries in line if your mains goes flat. never once will this system fail unless you don't monitor battery voltages, the processor has an auto cut off, if battery goes below 10.2 V this allows the dual system battery system to combine and equalize both mains start, and axillary to build a charge to restart your van. it's a dream run that only fails if you alone let it happen.

Use the Blue bar search button there's a heap of wiretaps but many fail, so be careful or you'll be back asking for help.

FWIW. I agree with Richard. If you are considering the use of fuse doublers or taps on a Sprinter, it is not a good idea at all.

The following info is from the T1N model, but the basic Merc fuse connection design has not changed. Post #70 has some comments about fuse taps.

Isn't there a fuse map on the cover of your fuse block panel to help identify what fuses you can use? Good luck. vic
