The empty slots on the bottom row are all hot. Use a circuit tester to determine which ones are switched and unswitched. I believe that 5 is unswitched and 7 and 8 are switched.

Thanks, I'll double-check with my tester, just thought I'd get a head-start (and be a little lazy in the process.).

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. Is there a specific Honda add-a-circuit? The fuses will not fit in the add-a-circuit dongle I got, although it fits fine in the slot in the fuse box.

The car fuses now have the extra-teeny legs that will not fit in the separate slots.

Funny thing is that I get no power from the add-a-circuit when it is in an empty powered slot, so that tells me there must be a special connector, right?

The Honda mini-fuses are a little bit different from a standard mini-fuse, but are interchangeable. Just go get some standard mini-fuses of the correct amperage for your setup.

The reason that you may not be getting any power to the add-a-fuse circuit is that you have it plugged in upside down. Try turning it around. (now think about why this is so...)

So I can put a standard minifuse in my HCH?? I didn't know that.

yes. They don't push all the way flush in like the Honda mini-fuses, but still work just fine.

Thanks for that! I didn't know where I was going to get those stupid Honda fuses. God forbid I would have to go to the dealership!
