Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) anti theft switch ?...

[THenningsen]

I was looking at switches and the box suggested putting a fuse in line to protect things. Is this necessary? If so, how what amp fuse should I use?

 

[THenningsen]

anyone help me out?

Your description of the circuit where the switch is to be installed is lacking enough information for any of us to give you an answer other than "maybe".

How about a little more information.

Did the switch box recommend a fuse because of the switches intended use? which is power delivery. Whereas if your installing the switch to break current on a particular curcuit you do not need a fuse as the line is already fuse protected.

If you in times of need want to disable your rig, pull fuse #9, rig will crank will not start.

Is the clutch "depress to start" circuit protected?

Is the clutch "depress to start" circuit protected?

Asssuming the switch is rated for the voltage and current it will be subjected to, a switch installed in series in an existing circuit would need no further protection.

 

[THenningsen]

that's all the switch would be, is to interrupt the current.
