I just purchased 5 autometer gauges and was wondering if all five could get power from one fuse. The thing im worried about is that the wiring diagram for each gauge is given and two of the gauges require a 4 amp fuse while the other 3 only need a 1 amp fuse. total thats 11 amps, could i run all the gauges off one 15 amp fuse without any problems? I would rather have one fuse, than 5 more in the car somewhere

I can't imagine why i wouldn't be able to, just wanted to make sure so i don't fry a gauge or two

thanks

Make sure the wire to the fuse panel will handle the load from all the gauges.

Already did the calculations for what wire gauge to use. 14 gauge is more than enough. As long as the wire isn't over 7 ft long, the wire can handle it. Im guessing the wire won't be more than 4. The battery and fuse panel will be in the front trunk of the car. So, from the gauges thru the front firewall, to the fuse panel, should be about 4 ft of wire, maybe 5.

I would start with a small fuse and increase as needed. Maybe start with 3 or 5 amp, otherwise if one gauge goes, it will need 15 amps to blow the fuse. Gauges draw milliamps

Awesome, thanks for the tip, ill start small and work up
