The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Fuses

I've looked everywhere for this info. What amp. fuses should be in my truck? It's a 49 3600, original 6v. The P.O. had some 14's, a 30, and a 20..... I'm thinking he put whatever he could find in it. I'm thinking they COULD be all the same? Could I just use all 20's or what? Thanks.

The rule of thumb here is to protect the wire. Depending upon what gauge the wire is is what you should install fusewise.

Exempli Gratis:
10 Ga should have a 25A fuse
12 Ga should have a 20A fuse
14 Ga should have a 15A fuse
16 Ga should have a 6A fuse

Any fuse size SMALLER than the rating on the wire will work if you are inclined to protect your device over the wire. Just remember that if you put one in that's too small you may end up having to change it more often than necessary.

Here\'s where I got my wire amperage ratings.

that makes sense, thanks brendan
