Heated shield fuse?

[Tantrum]

Wireing my heated shield. What size fuse should I use?

3 or 4 amp will do it.

Got that fuse as close to the source as possible?

I installed a remote fuse block so the fuse is at the power source. Smallest I had was a 5amp so I tested with that and will pick-up a 4 tomorrow.
Fuse block came out pretty trick, now I can wire accessories direct without messing with the biotch of an airbox.

What do you mean by as close to the source?

 

[Tantrum]

Source being the power supply (battery).
You should try to keep the fuse as close to the battery as possible so if something melts, its the fuse, not the wire which could then short and could cause problems.

I opted to go with the fuse block because the battery is such a pain in the azz get to. Now all my fuses are accesable.
