Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series dashcam hardwire fuse guide (Australia)
Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series (2009-2014 data). AU table gives an ACC fuse (#10) and a cigarette-lighter fuse (#7), plus DOME #2 as a constant candidate, in the cabin box under the dash.
Core fields known: 3/4 (✓ Box location · ✗ Fuse type · ✓ Switched (ACC) slot · ✓ Constant slot). Known doesn't mean verified. See the evidence badges below.
Fuse box location and type
Location: Cabin fuse box under the instrument panel; remove the lid to access. Separate engine-compartment boxes (not used for dashcams). [1] Reference table
Fuse type: Unknown, help us verify
Unknown, help us verify. The source doesn't state fuse type.
Scope of this data: Only the AU 76/78/79 table for 2009-2014. The source shows different entries for 2009-2012 and 2012-2014. Anything newer: Unknown, help us verify.
Constant (always-on) fuse candidates
Battery-direct slots: 12V with the ignition off. Use for the camera’s parking-mode (BATT) wire. Candidates only. Meter each one.
| Slot | Rating | Label | Evidence | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #25 DOME No.2 | 10A | DOME №2 | Reference table | Interior lights. The table shows DOME fed from the ALT / MAIN2 main fuses, which suggests battery-direct. Not meter-confirmed. [1] |
Ignition / ACC (switched) fuse candidates
Slots that read 0V with the ignition off and ~12V when it’s on. Candidates only. Meter each one.
| Slot | Rating | Label | Evidence | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #10 ACC | 7.5A | ACC | Reference table | Table: clock, audio, power antenna. Fed through the AM1 fuses ('all components in ACC fuse'). [1] |
| #7 CIG | 15A | CIG | Reference table | Cigarette lighter, also fed through AM1 / AM1 No.3. [1] |
Both are fed from AM1 per the table, which is consistent with switched power. Not meter-confirmed.
Slots to avoid
- Anything airbag/SRS, brake, engine-management or starter related.
Gotchas for this vehicle
How to verify before you tap (generic)
- Find the fuse box and its cover diagram. Use a multimeter or test light, with the black lead on bare chassis metal.
- Test both contacts on the top of each candidate fuse. Constant: 12V+ with the ignition off. Switched (ACC): 0V with the ignition off, 12V+ with the ignition on. Check again after the car has been locked a few minutes: some circuits stay live briefly.
- Don't put the ACC and constant wires in the same fuse slot. Use a fuse in the tap that suits the camera (typically 3–5A), and keep the tap the right way round so the fuse is fed from the supply side.
- Earth the black wire to a clean bare chassis bolt. Cable-tie the tap and wiring so nothing rattles loose.
- Check the dashcam on and off, and after the car sleeps. Look for warning lights, and for the vehicle waking or draining.
Generic method per the BlackVue hardwire kit manual and the BlackboxMyCar guide. Not specific to this vehicle.
