Prosport Oil Temp Gauge Install Questions

[modusoperandi]

Trying to wire up & install my Prosport oil temp gauge & have seen a few threads of prior installs people have done on the genjuans. My concerns are using add circuit fuses that are rated for 10A & plugging into the fuse connections listed that are 15A. Also the gauge requires a 12V power source, I'm not entirely too saavy with the electrical side of the car so just seeing what some other genpu owners have done on their installs.

12 amps sounds really high for a single gauge.

I would never use an additional 10 amps of current from a fuse tap. If you need more than 3-5 amps use the fuse tap to trigger a relay and pull the load directly from the battery.

I had written amps over volts. I had another member explain some of the basics & said it should function properly.
