Which Fuse for Glove Box light

[Batgirl]

I bought the wire kit for the glove box light, but can't find anywhere (on the worldwide web) Which inline fuse to use in it (3? 7.5? 10?) I'm tired of looking, Please Help!

I just noticed after posting an answer to you that the photo of your wire harness has an inline fuse holder.
The link from this site shows a harness which I have on my 72 C10 and what I am familiar with as being the correct wire harness.
Someone from this site should help you out about the correct amp fuse you need.
Sorry for jumping the gun.
Good luck

Use Ohms law to find your answer....its the formula used for all electrical wire and fuse sizing.....that's why its called the law. Watts / volts is your answer. 6 watt bulb divided by 12 volts or so is .5 amps. But I guess the fuse is there to protect the wire from overheating as is the case with all fuses, so the fuse size is dependent on the wire amp capacity.

Thank you for the link, gave me confirmation that I plugged it into the correct place on fuse box (since I kind of guessed on that) Sheryl
