I'm not stupid but just very confused. I bought a 6 circuit fuse block and am running an 8 guage wire to it and running six switches out the other side. My question is: How do i figure out what size fuses to use. This is what i'm powering. This is being done in a 1999 S10 ZR2.

1. 2 Eurolite 6" Neons and 2 12" CCFLs

2. Approx. 35 LEDs

3. Eurolite Neon Tweeters (Powers Lights Only)

4. Cell Phone Charger

5. 1 Pair Headlight Strobes

6. Alternating Signal Lights.

Get a multimeter and start testing. Attach each accessory to the 12 volt source, then use the meter to find the amp draw of each thing. Then just use the readings and round up to the nearest five amp fuse.

Kenwood all the Way!
