METALDISC Anyone?

Right, re-located the fuse today.

Nice job.....was reading back through the guide and realised the wire I used isn't as thick as the guides wire.

The wire I've used is prolly just over half the thickness of the wire used in the guide. Anyone else used thinner wire?

So long as its rated for 10A or more it should be fine.

eek. Me thinks im gonna have to re do it with a thicker wire. I don't know what my wire is rated at.

Should say on it somewhere.
I got mine from Maplins and specified what i was after.

Maplins didnt have any 10A when I went, think mines 8A - been fine though

Tested this morning - I won't be doing the fuse relocation as my dead locks un-dead themsleves once I put the key in engine and press unlock button on drivers door.

Just means the neighbours will have to listen to my alarm whilst I get the fuse box cover off.

Saves me drilling into my new car

now take the fuse out, and try again.

Accourding to this table:-

The wire I've used is a 5A rating. I measured the copper core with verniers. It measured about 1.5mm in diameter.

Got some wire that is about 2mm in diameter (core) and that should be about 9.2A.

I can't believe it needs a 15A fuse in all honesty, seems OTT.
