Question Defi/Knocklink in line fuse

What rating of fuse should I use for this?

I am going to tap into the hazzard switch on an MY00 for all connections, do I need a fuse at all?

Done a search but can't find anything.

better to tap into the *** lighter as it is live when the engine is on whereas the hazards are live when all the time.

Thanks roguck, but I've already checked the hazzard switch with a test bulb and have all four I require there, permenant live, ignition on live, illumination live and earth.

Anyone fitted an in line fuse (or decided not to) to their Defi/Knocklink that can help out please?

Are the hazard lights fused at all? Through the fusebox(es). Figure what AMP inline you'd need and if the fusebox one is much bigger, fit the inline.

I'd always fit an inline but then I'm clumsy and a worrier. I'd always think I'd stuffed it up or worry about wires chaffing on sharp edges.

I used a 1amp which I got from Halfords. Seems to work alright, and hasn't blown yet... I would use one though, just in case. As Vindaloo says, you never know.
