I relocated my battery to my trunk a while back. When I extended all of the wiring from the positive terminal back into the engine compartment I added an inline fuse. It seemed like good insurance in case something shorted out between the battery and the fuse panel. I've been running a 15amp fuse for quite a while without any problems. Tonight, out of nowhere, the fuse blew and left my wife stranded.
Should 15Amps be enough to run all of the accessories? Do I just need to put in a larger fuse, or should I be troubleshooting a short? The car is a 75 1.8 L-jet. It's pretty stock without any extra lights or stereo amplifiers. |
