dear God what are they teaching kids in school now days? do you think that a fuse is some form of current restrictor? uh, no.
to prove my point, i am going to ask you to do the following: take a piece of bare wire (no insulation, its to prove something out.) attach one end of it to the battery, go one side of a fuse, then off the other side of that fuse send another bare wire back to the battery, on the neg side. watch the fuse pop. then, take the bare wires, and twist them together.
you will then have a nice 1/8" burn across your palms and fingers, consider it like the scarlet letter, its a mark that you are retarded and should never do any form of electrical work. ever.
