[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8855870, member: 674149"] What's the vehicle? You don't need to ground it in the same place. No reason you can't find your own place and leave that one there until you can easily remove it. Just like all fused circuits, the fuse needs to be more than the expected power to run through it, and less than what the wire is capable of handling. You are intentionally creating a weak point, so that if anything goes wrong, that it breaks the circuit in a place where it is controlled. Where it can be protected from causing further damage, and where it can be easily fixed. I know on my pickup the factory alt to batt pos wire is a "fusible link". You don't see it, but the cable is sized correctly so that it acts as a fuse, and will split inside the casing. The casing will not open or split to keep it from connecting in the engine bay and creating a circuit where it shouldn't. [/QUOTE]
