    As long as you put it close to the power source... the battery. It's little use having a good length of wire before a fuse...
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My signature is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless.

    Yeah this is very important, as technically the fuse is only there to protect that wire, not the load it is running.

    Often, the battery will have its own larger fuse though, before all the relays, and as long as the wire from the relay to the battery is large enough, it will blow the battery fuse before glowing red hot in a fault.
