Brian,

You do NOT want to put the LED in parallel with the fuse, you need to put the positive side of the LED on the load side of the fuse and the ground side of the LED to ground.

It would look like this:

+ 12 Volts---------Fuse-+-----------Load

LED

Ground-------------------+-----------Ground

Sorry about the graphics, I could not past the cad drawing that I did.

I hope you get the idea.

Tom
