    Default Add a Circuit

    Just Curious.......

    My ACC slot in my fuse box takes a 15 Amp fuse.
    If I place a 7.5 Amp on the accessory slot of the
    "Add a Circuit" will it Blow.

    My Escort SmartCord has an Inline fuse but not sure
    what Amp it is.

    I'll be double Fused here.

    How many Amps does the Detector need?

    it only needs 1-2 amps. id recommend 1 amp fuse. dont use a 7.5, could risk shorting your unit

    Thanks for the info about how many Amps it draws.
    I'll have it double fused since the SmartWire has an
    inline fuse.

    So the Answer is, it won't blow correct?
    Just want to make sure, I don't have
    another one handy.
