Ok, so I have had an issue that has been bothering me for some time. I have wired up some custom LED light strips in my car underneath the dash so it lights up the floor. The issue is, I wired it into the radio's 12v always-hot wire. The issue here is if something were to short, there will not be a fuse to pop. I have had the wire come undone and it grounded itself to the chassis of the car and smoked and heated up really quick. I need to prevent this. My question is, how would I prevent it? A fuse? Would I need a separate fuse holder, or could I somehow use one in the fuse box under the dash? Also, what size fuse would I need for a 12v line? 10A? 15A?
Hope somebody can give me some insight here.
