Installing Overhead Dvd Player

[finman]

i am going to be installing an aftermarket overhead dvd player in my 2011 Suburban. i was going to run the hot wire up to the #49 fuse under the hood but that fuse is labeled center high mounted stoplamp.
anyone have suggestions on a switched power fuse to use?

thanks,

Cris

thanks for the info.

Do you have to used the special connector they are talking about or can you use something at a local auto parts store to splice into the 12v switched power?

Thanks,

I have seen people use female spade connectors and have not had a problem. I got the connector and the special terminals for it but either way works.

I picked up the connector at lunch.
it has 1 blue wire coming out of it. what should the process be to plug it into the MBEC and connect my positive wire from the dvd player to it?

thanks,

You will have to get the terminals, I got them from mouser, there part number is 829-15304711 and the delphi number is 15304711, and also will need to use a relay as the R.A.P. terminal only supplies a few hundred milliamps.
