The circuits (if any on your car) that F100 supplies must retain the 10A fuse. The power point normally has a 20A or 15A (Estate rear power point) fuse. It would probably be better to piggy off F136 (Wipers) or F116 (Fog) if you need more than a couple of amps. This bus bar comes from the "ignition overload relay" circuit, and can supply more current (40A fuse) than the F100 bus, which is directly from the ignition switch, with only a 20A fuse for all the circuits on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
