    I accidently picked up a fuse block that's meant to have multiple hot wires hooked up to it rather than just one. Is there a way to still use it and only run one hot wire to feed 4 different fuses or am I screwed?
    I'm an idiot and lost the return information for it.

    Just use a wire to link the 4 together. One hot from the battery to the first fuse then a jumper wire from the 1st to the 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, etc.

    here is the terminal jumpers that bluesea sells also... there is at least two sizes so you will need to figure that part out.

    you have to make sure your primary wire is large enough gauge to handle the total amps for all circuits.

    Ok, everything is LED except my ditch lights which I need to swap out to LED anyway. I'm only using about 8 amps total not counting the two 130w kc lights.
