Ron,

Thanks for that info. I was wondering if I could rig something like that but I wasn't sure what amp fuse I could use. Too high and it doesn't offer adequate protection. Too low and it will blow from the load(s) even if there is no short. Maybe I'll use a fuse that is like 5 amp larger than the largest fuse in the fuse panel, and then test one accessory at a time.

Fortunately I mostly disturbed the wiring down stream from the fuse panel so I'll have that protection also.

Now I just need to dig through my parts heap and find an inline fuse holder. Let's see, I know I saw one somewhere.......
