Emergency trailer brake wire
In my trailer there was the main, unfused, 6ga line leading from the batts to an electrical box with circuit breakers in the "basement". About 2-3 ft long. The line to the emergency brake switch connects to that main line before the breakers in the electrical box in the basement. And so was also unfused.
Thinking that all lines from the batt should be fused as close to the batt as possible, and forgetting about the emergency brake line, I fused that main, 6ga line right at the battery.
But now I'm thinking that the line from the batts to the emergency brake pull-out switch should not be fused, anywhere along its length.
Correct?
Or is it one of those "maybe yes, maybe no" situations?
