I have a 2021 Ram Rebel 1500. In the external power distribution system are any of the micro-fuses set for constant power? I am trying to install an accessory and want to wire it with an add a fuse adapter thing but need a constant power location.
Thanks,

Buy an inline fuse holder and a ring terminal and connect to one of the studs.

Otherwise, this should have your answer. https://5thgenrams.com/community/th...circuit-breaker-diagrams-documentation.28989/

Thanks for the link to that post. Very informative. I see where it talks about which fuses on the inside power distribution are constant power so I am wondering if anyone knows if any of the fuses in the external are constant power. I would rather run my wiring there than to bring it back inside the cab but I may not have a choice if I want constant power.

Go look at the photograph of the external fuse block. Do you see those studs on the left? Find a hot one using a test lamp or voltmeter. Get a ring terminal and an inline fuse holder and some wire and build a harness. Screw the ring terminal onto one of the hot studs. Done. If this is too hard to figure out, perhaps you shouldn't be messing with your wiring. I could do it in less time than it's taken me to type this!
