Fuse Question!
 
I just added some more lights to an existing system.. is it okay to upgrade my fuse to a 20 instead of 15? or....what

Icemark 10-09-02 09:52 PM

NO.

You should fuse the added lights separately and control them by a relay and/or switch.

is it okay to drive around with a bigger fuse for 30 mins? Of not, i dont have any lights. and i borrowed a fuse from another system, which i dont know what it is? :P

ANYONE? I gotta leave in 6 minutes :S

If you absolutly have to go now, unplug the new lights and put the normal fuse back in.

DC350 10-09-02 10:42 PM

it's blown

DC350 10-09-02 10:42 PM

okay, nevermind i will just steal one from my moms cars.....thanks SO much guys! sorry for the rush

so lets say i add some driving lights to my 7. i could hook them to a relay that turns on when my headlights are on, but they should be connected to their own fuse to get their 12v from the battery.

correct?

the fuse is there to protec the wires... adding a bigger fuse could lead to the wires melting instead of the fuse blowing...

Rpeck 10-09-02 11:24 PM

Bah! you crackheads are way too picky .. I will bet my balls that a 5 amp bigger fuse is NOT going to cook a wire before it cooks the fuse. Common its 5 amps he's talking not 50. In a pinch until you can get the right one (weeks or months if need be) a 5 amp bigger fuse is fine.
