Default Mega Fuse

I was thinking of fitting a Mega fuse in to my ignition feed as there doesn't seem to be one.
What size fuse would be best?

Depends what's hanging off it... 3A to 100A... The size depends on what your running.

you won't need a mega fuse for that,

your only going to be lookign at 10amps maybee..

I will have a look at the ford diagram later & see what it has.

You could just try 5,10,15 and see which popps..
