My 2016 Ford Escape has no switched power outlet for a dashcam. Previously I was unable to find a switched fuse either, and came up with a circuit as a partial solution.

However today I installed a new dashcam, and now a few years later was able to find online the proper solution. Fuse F85 under the dash (probably on all Ford cars based on the Focus chassis) is ignition/accessory switched power. A fuse tap there leading to a female power socket for the camera is perfect.



The dash cam is the Aukey dual front/rear 1080p model that Techmoan recently reviewed. Should be excellent.
