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

[VW BUSH]

That all depends on which side of the fuse.

oh dear

[madsb]

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.

I am using the original wiring harness at least going through the door sockets. The 12 v is that the white/red wires?

Your bypassing the fuse, ie taking the safety out. Not good if you are loading cables with more than the they can handle.

yeah white/red one is the permanent +12v

No you're not at all.

Say you took it from the non fused side and put your own, smaller inline fuse, you'd not be putting any more load on the fuse at all but you would the wiring which could be more dangerous.

Taking it from the other side you would be putting more load on it.

There is only one side you SHOULD be taking it from though as the fuse will be rated slightly lower than the wiring if all is factory.
