IBleedMusick Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I have to take a look and see if I have any extra slots and okay so from the relay to the junction there should be a 10a fuse and from the junction to the remote turn on's there should be 10a fuses as well for the amps? and I can throw on another 10a for all of the accessories? and yes I am running 14 gauge to the trunk as well Quote 2013 Dodge Charger Build Log 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0Build Log 2005 Honda Civic LX Coupe Build Log SMD SUPER SELLER!!!!My Selling Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicks Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I have to take a look and see if I have any extra slots and okay so from the relay to the junction there should be a 10a fuse and from the junction to the remote turn on's there should be 10a fuses as well for the amps? and I can throw on another 10a for all of the accessories? and yes I am running 14 gauge to the trunk as well Whoa...only need a fuse at the source. If you find an open slot in your fusepanel, throw in the 10a fuse there. Then route the wire to the trunk. If I understand your setup correctly: Battery >> Main fuse >> fusepanel >> switched output >> 10A fuse >> relay >> junction box >> LEDs and amp turn-ons. The 10A fuse is meant to break the connection if a wire down stream would come loose and short to ground causing a large current to flow which would burn up the wire. These components that you're connecting themselves dont fail to a "short condition". Basically if your LED strip breaks or fails it stops drawing current, same with the amps. Therefore they don't need seperate fuses themselves.
