I believe there is a fire risk. Attached is a picture of the fuse block and a device attached to an empty fuse location. Correct procedure is to attach here with a fuse. Instead they attached a wire to the hot side of a fuse location that has no fuse. This small red wire goes to the device. The device is fused and a small black wire comes off the device to a ground . The problem is that the red wire itself is not protected for about a foot until there is the inline fuse. If this wire shorts to ground it would potentially cause a fire. This is a dangling wire in the fuse box area where a person may access this area to get the tire pump or the metal attachment for securing the vehicle. The proper procedure would have been to install the red wire on a small fuse block protected by a proper sized fuse for the wire, Instead of having the unprotected wire dangling in front of the fuse box. This appears to be something the manufacturer added late, and was hacked in by someone that did not have automotive electrical degree. I would expect a mistake like this from an unlicensed kid in a stereo shop, not an automotive manufacturer.
