The internal/interior fuse box is located on the right hand side of the car regardless where the steering wheel is
- Passenger side - LHD
- Driver side - RHD
Normally required fuse connect for Dashcam or any electronics that are similar in nature:
- GND
- Contant Power (constantly on even car is locked)
- ACC Power (on when full accessory is on or engine is on)
(Reference: http://www.autogenius.info/ford-mustang-2016-fuse-box-diagram-eu-version/)
A good choice would be as shown below. Avoid using fuse car electronics that is critical and/or always on such as climate control, amplifier, car lock and airbag.
- ACC power -- 23 (Switches. Power windows. Rear-view mirror)
- Constant power - 29 (Left-hand rear-window power)
There is a screw on the chassis metal that can be used to connect the GND

Thanks for a nice guide.
I have a simple dashcam (mai70 pro), simple 12V → 5V converter and I don’t need any constant power since DVR has a parking mode + battery strong enough to record video in case of any collision.
So out of previous discussion what should I use for ACC – 23 or the 36?
Regards.
@Dave,
The camera goes off after 30 seconds (only the recording goes off). If the parking mode is on, it is still on, detecting motion, will wake up and record if needed. So this is normal. You do not want the camera to be on while you parked, it will run the battery flat eventually when you part for a long time and forgot to switch it off.
Hi Ray, got an auto electrician to install my dash camera, it works fine when the car is on
but after engine is off it switches to parking mode then will power off in 30 seconds, tried all settings and voltage cuts offs but no go and ideas? seem the mustang has timed circuits.
I was able to locate the micro2 piggy back at O’Rileys
I was following the directions BATT and ACC (23) they didn’t work, then my window didn’t work to what going on?
