trying to replace the existing 5v USB in my 2018 tradesman with newer dual port QC3 + PD something like this https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B095YSDCCR
when I pulled the console apart, I thought it be straight swap but the OEM plug looks like it gets routed behind the console and then goes off another 2 wires.
do I just disconnect the old OEM, and tap the 2 wires? would I need to install the inline fuse that was include with the new plug?
Thanks for any advise offered, I tried to search if this was already done but couldn't find much about existing USB plugs but swapping out 12v plugs.
