Fuse for 12V Block Under Dash?
OK, so i hardwired my GPS with a female quick disconnect to the ignition 12V terminal on the block under the dash (photo courtesy of XViper)
My question is this: is this connection fused at the block somewhere? And if so which fuse is it? I could go back and install an inline fuse but I'm too lazy to if I don't need it.
BTW I went through the FAQ but it's so damn long I couldn't find my answer (and I'm not even sure it's in there).
Thanks,
Dave (Zonie)

Both the "constant" and "ignition" terminals are fused by fuse 42 in the under-hood fuse box. It's a 40 or 50 AMP fuse (can't remember). That's why you should always use an in-line fuse when connecting to these terminals. From this terminal you could short an 18-gauge wire to ground and instead of blowing the fuse it would just melt the wire (in about 2 seconds).
BTW - connector E (lights) is fused by fuse 23, 10 amps.
