    the size of the fuse depends on what you are giving power to.
    I do like the fuse block, where did you get it?
    I also would suggest using all covered terminals...:thumbs2:

    Here's a diagram of my reworked fuse panel that's essentially a duplicate of the factory layout, if you ignore all the add-on stuff I did. I did "up" the fuse sizes a bit for the add'l components. If you're just reworking the factory harness, you can sub in the factory fuse ratings...

    I am just reworking the factory harness.
    So if its a sfe 14 fuse. Then ill use a 15 fuse?
    And if its a sfe 4 fuse then ill just use a 5 fuse?
    And so on and so on?
    Sorry if this is a stupid question.

    Yup, just get as close as you can to factory values.
