Hardwiring Dash Cam
Hello!
I just recently picked up a 2002 Dodge Caravan Sport, and currently have an issue with the car where the top cigarette lighter aux port works, but the bottom one doesn't. Quick research online says this problem can only be done by a dealer who would reset the fuse, but I don't see why I can't access this said fuse? Would this be the equivalent to the entire fuse box under the hood of the van?
Another question, in all of my vehicles (Prius's, Carolla's, and a Charger) I have hard-wired a dash cam by simply adding a fuse-tap to an existing fuse there the normal cigarette lighter fuse goes. Since the Dodge Caravan has the fuse box under the hood, and unless there is another fuse box I am unaware of, is it pretty much impossible to hard-wire a dash cam into the car? I'd prefer to avoid dragging cables into the hood if that is the case, just figured I'd ask to confirm.
And lastly, while I brought this van for a super cheap price, it came with no manual. Online, I can only see manuals for Dodge Caravans 2004+, I am assuming I would have to buy this? Or is there another resource I can look at? I am only looking for the owners manual.
Thanks!
