914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Adding fuses to the four 12 volt wires direct to the battery

Posted by: Kansas 914 Jul 10 2017, 10:48 AM

I am adding a 6 circuit fuse block to the wiring harness in the engine compartment and I wonder what amp fuse I should use for the 4 red wires that are connected directly to the battery positive terminal. I am also adding one circuit for the audio amp and a spare circuit I added to the passenger compartment (Seat heaters, etc.).

I think two of these go to the regulator plate and two go to the front fuse panel.

I have to think 25A or greater would be fine as I am just trying to eliminate a problem if there should be a dead short midstream, plus it gives ma a nice takeoff point for trouble shooting.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
