STM gauge pigtail fuse--which amperage do i need?

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

i asked STM tehy said to use the fuse you are replacing. he was literally no help, and didnt even respond to my question about if they work when the car is on ACC mode or when the gauge would be turned on
 
Get a test light and find what fuses have power in ACC and don't have power in off. Some of them are obviously going to be hot at all times and not what you want to use.
 
On a 2G it looks like fuse 9, 12, and 14 get power in ACC. Fuse 12 may be unused in your car but it should have the power side connector installed.

If you use the pigtail fuse in an existing circuit you do want it to be the same size as the fuse it's replacing.

If 12 is open and you use it there then 10A is more than enough for the gauges.

BTW, The FSM lists all the fuses and which circuits they are on.

I'm sorry.

If I don't respond via AIM in a timely manner, always shoot me an E-mail. I try and get back to questions on AIM but I am on and off the computer all day, and then if the person I am talking to signs off or the IM window gets closed, I don't know who to message later on.

Steve worded it perfectly.

If you are replacing an existing fuse with our pigtail fuse, you will want to replace it with a fuse that is the same amperage

About the ACC, it all depends on what fuse you replace whether it will work like that or not.

If you have any other questions, send me a PM or E-mail !
