proper fuse location question!


Recommended Posts

Posted

lets just say im making this thread to confirm my original plans ( i already bought 8 anl fuse holders and fuses) ( 6 are shown in the video)

so i am prepared to do this and pretty sure its the right thing to do (dont know why im even asking)

maybe this will push the people to fuse their shit properly?

or maybe to see if i can get away with not making a new battery box lol

my question is this:

and i assume fusing the grounds would be a waste?

ANY advise will be greatly appreciated!

Yes you need those fuses. I don't really have any great ideas about placement though..

Btw, Your build log

Yes, fuses under the hood AND on back battery bank. Plus fuses from battery bank to amps.

Pain...yes, but its worth it if you ever have a fault.

Fuses not needed on ground leads as long as the power line is fused.

I'm also a big fan of strapping the batteries down if you haven't already. Especially when the batteries are in the passenger compartment and not a trunk.

Your correct, Yes you need those fuses in the rear as you planned to. Perhaps if you have room and it will work with the rest of your planned install, cut a piece of mdf and angle it at a 45 on the side where the wires come through the garments and mount them there? Just and idea anyway.
