so i have a wideband, volt, and water temp gauge to install and my question is will a 10 add a fuse hold enuff power to run these three gauges?

i'm gonna be installing these tonight in addition to a new cluster with speedhut indiglo overlay(wiring that to my dimmer switch) just wanted to make sure i'm not gonna be underpowering the gauges or overloading the add-a-fuse.

10 amp should suffice, if not then you can use the 10 amp add a fuse to turn the relay on/off with the key and wire the constant power to battery with a 15 or 20 amp inline fuse there.

the indiglo cluster i'm wiring into the dimmer for power so thats taken care of.

it was just the additional 3 gauges(depo racing wideband, and 2 cheapo gauges) that i was wondering about but the add a fuse should cover three gauges i'm told.
