If you are staring at the two ERA fuse boxes, the one on the passenger side of the car is the first box. The top fuse of that box, on the passenger side of the fuse, is a direct feed from the alternator (and the fused side of that fuse runs to the fans). If you just tap that passenger side screw, it will always be hot, and it is unfused. So, whatever you run from a tap from that screw must have an inline fuse, or circuit breaker, to protect it. That's all the phrase means.

Fantastic others understand this.
Keep up the good work, as always, Pat.
