2022 Ford Maverick: Orientation of Add-a-Tap on Fuse 3 and Fuse 6 (Accessory / Ignition Only Power)

Disclaimer: I am neither an electrical whiz, nor do I have any notable automotive knowledge, I was just curious about this subject since I just finished hard wiring my dashcam today. Please correct me if I messed up the terms or any information.

I was curious which of the Fuse 3 and Fuse 6 legs were line vs. load, as this can impact the isolation of the original system fuse from the added fuse when using a fuse tap. Since these Fuse 3 and Fuse 6 are both adjacent to some large plastic obstacles, there is only one orientation you can use a fuse tap in both of these cases.

It turns out, whether by design or happy coincidence, both fuse tap orientations are "correct". Fuse 3 bottom leg is line, and Fuse 6 top leg is line.
