[QUOTE="fasfocus00, post: 8242438, member: 576857"] From your schooling you should be able to concede that me and nasty are correct. You should also be able to realize that you fuse for the wire off the power source for the wires rating than fuse for each component at a distribution block which the OP does not have. Fusing too small can cause unwanted resistance causing the fuse holder to melt than defeating the purpose of having fuses in the first place. This unwanted resistance can also cause heat issues in the wire itself. OP needs to get a fused distribution block and fuse at the distribution block per the owners manual. Seriously FAA, you guys almost never use 0 gauge. You barely use 4 gauge. How many times have you put a 5 amp fuse on a 10 gauge wire for controls? Never. I install at a shop and see people use smaller fuses that try to repeatedly draw more current than the fuse is rated for causing the wire to burn or the fuse holder to melt causing more damage than using the correctly sized $1 fuse.
