Here's a good guide as to what's hot with key on and what's constant:

Can't remember who made this but if anyone knows...they deserve props.

I used 04 and 36 on mine. In my truck 04 was a spare so I didn’t impact any circuits but YMMV.
One point to make for safety. I see several posting they were able to run wires down A pillar without removing it. You run the risk of impacting airbag deployment on the A pillar doing so or having the camera come flying at occupants as the wires pull it from the glass as the air bag deploys. If you remove the A pillar trim you can tuck the wiring behind the airbag thats coiled up in there so wiring is not in the way should the worst occur and you have a deployment.

What brand of taps are those?
@jhelrey You have not had an issue with the sticky getting weak due to summer heat?
I have tested every single fuse in the cabin box, and there is NOTHING with true constant power in my 2021 F150 XLT...
Left the truck alone for 30 minutes, left the key fob inside the house (just to verify it wasn't kicking anything on by accident), and went back out with the tester. Seems like all power to the cabin fuse panel is cut after the truck has been off for 30 minutes.
What gives? Anyone else actually have testing data on this?
