Hi All,
From the G3X shunt you are supposed to have the signal wires running back to the GEA24 fused to 1A. I tried this using a typical glass bussmann fuse in a screw together inline fuse holder, but I seem to be getting erratic sensor readings. I took it apart and put some tefgel on the terminals, and this only made things worse. Is there a better way of fusing these wires? I was thinking a fusible link soldered in place, but this wire would be so **** small it would be ridiculous. I'm guessing I'd just have to peel a few wires out of an existing wire to make the link out of:

Alternatively I was thinking a mini blade fuse holder with a 1A fuse, but I just didn't want to encounter the same problems I am seeing with the glass bussmann fuses.
Cheers,
Tom.
