Sorry about not responding, but I don't quite understand what the question is.
The m7 slot has no effect on the outlets in the Jeep. It would normally be for a third one in the back.
With the fuse tap in the acc/run position, your cb will be on any time the key is not in the off position. The tap is rated for 10 amps, but I've seen the same tap rated higher on other web sites.

Thanks.. I was writing my response above as I was exploring the fuses...
Here's my question..
You wrote above that M7 has no effect on the outlets.. I don't have a third outlet in the back, so I wouldn't expect Chrysler to include a fuse in that slot, especially a 20 amp. I'll check today as to whether the two outlets I have are impacted by this fuse.
The second half of the question...
M7 has three available slots in it..
X X X
In your picture M7 is like this..
X - -
And mine is
- - X
" - " represents the two legs of the fuse
" X " represents the unused third slot for M7
With the two legs of fuse occupying the " - " spots.. I should just go take a picture of it...
As you have it... X - - M7 is hot on Acc & Run.
As I have it... - - X M7 is hot only on Run.
I am trying to put the puzzle pieces together. Why do I have a fuse for an accessory the jeep is not equipped for and why is in a different spot than yours. All I can come up with is...
X - - Is for when there is a rear accessory outlet and,
- - X Is for when there is no rear accessory outlet.

All the ones I have seen with no third outlet, the fuse was in the X-- position. I don't know why yours is in the --X position.
As long as you don't have a third outlet, you can use the fuse tap in either position.
I don't know why there is a fuse installed for a non-existent accessory. They left the fuses out for some other unused slots.

After all that, remember...
I started the thread with the phrase "If your TIPM (fuse box) is set up like my 2008 is...."

The left outlet is #1, fuse #M6, wired to Accessory power.
The outlet on the right is #3, fuse #M36, always powered.
The optional outlet in the back would be #2, fuse M7, selectable ACC/BATT power.

Edit: I just realized you said the same thing about M7 being #2. Why the hell would they call something that doesn't exist #2?
