Fuse Sizes for a 49 3100

[markcp]

Anyone have a guide to what size fuses goes in the fuse panel mounted on firewall under hood? Putting in a new full wiring harness and connecting to the fuse panel, and didn't have anything prior to go by.

Thank you,
Mark

No one is running stock fuses that can help with fuse amp size for each circuit?

Fuse Rating

Or less if they don't blow .

I often run 8 Ampere fuses .

Fuses & Ratings

6 Volts draws more amperage than 12 volts so you'd want a 10 Ampere maximum if you're running a 12 volt rig .

I always experiment with fuses and run the lowest amperage one that won't blow ~ fuses are easy to change , even @ 0-Dark:30 when it's raining far from home , electrical fires , not so much .

Again great information thank you. Yes, will be switching to a 12v system.
