Any part of a circuit that is between the battery and the fuse is NOT protected by the fuse, and also puts the battery at risk from a dead short. Look in the new cars; the high-amp fuses are in the engine compartment right next to the battery, so that there is as little risk as possible that the feed will short out.

Bob;

Not sure I understand that. The protection of the wire should be near the source, not at the far end.

Al

True story, Al. Any part of a circuit that is between the battery and the fuse is NOT protected by the fuse, and also puts the battery at risk from a dead short.
