Front Fuse Box assistance needed

I am installing a wireless front bumper view camera on my Fifty and want to use one of the open fuses in the front engine bay fuse box to power it. I'd like to find one that does not retain power after engine shutdown, don't want the camera to cause a parasitic drain, no matter how small. Nothing in the owner's manual gives me a clue, can anybody give me any direction? Just need a low amp fuse that does not retain power. The camera will turn on automatically when with a certain distance of an object so I don't want it to work once the car is parked and shut down.

Can't you check the terminals with a multi-meter?

There's a few I would check that should be ignition source rather than RAP sources, especially since it looks like you don't have an SS.

all newer GM fuse boxes have fuses in them whether the car has the options or not. if its empty its probably doesnt have power. get a https://www.amazon.com/Vehicle-Micro...gateway&sr=8-8

I believe they were using #51 for the front parking sensors, should work for the camera, if you haven't already pulled it for the exhaust.

What kit are you going with?

Even if exhaust is pulled you can stick in an add-a-circuit Fuse TAP if it's not too big for that position and not populate that fuse.

The fuse tap listed will work. You need to be sure to put the pin on the left in the hot side of the fuse slot.
