Jim,
Whatever you do, don't go to your local auto parts store and buy the standard
25 amp fuse for this application -- the wiring is not up to it. If you use a
25 amp, make sure it is the "correct" Lucas 25 amp fuse.
If you do use a standard fuse (my choice), I recommend nothing larger than 10
amps, but 5 amps will probably be more than adequate.
