Will sticking wire along in with a fuse increase load on fuse?

Honestly don't get why you all think this will blow up.. The stereo has been powered by this since I got it ( ddidn't do it)

just get the right fuse for the radio. if it's a goid radio it will have a fuse as well and maybe the amp too.  as above not a good idea as it is a hazard.. insurance null and void if they find it...

Wait gonna have to explain what you mean better think everyone's getting thw wrong end of the stick.

I understand what he's done just not why.. it takes minutes to run a wire with an inline fuse straight from the battery if you just need juice for something like a stereo.

This is basically the principle ... I AM going to run a wire from the battery, dont worry, jeez.. 

I was just curious whether drawing power from this would increase the load (amperage) on the fuse it self... Which someone has yet to answer me..

[Bellend]

Depends which side of the fuse you're putting that on. If it's on the battery voltage side then no. Other side I.e current goes through fuse first then yes.

Absolutely fine to do it within reason. What are you trying to wire and where?

I've done it before for some LED dash lights when they packed up on our old car. I tapped into the wire after the fuse for the sidelights and LEDs draw no current at all really.

Not too keen on the look of those things, positive unshielded voltage...

Thank you for the answer, makes sense. Basically just wiring in a central locking kit i got (vacuum system was completely busted) i need to go to a car electronics store today to get the means for wiring from battery

Without getting technical yes

[Bellend]

That all depends on which side of the fuse.

why would you use that thing anyway? just use the original remote locking wiring harness.... that has own lines for 12V and so on and comes from the back of the cental electric - more or less ready to use.
