i always fuse any of my connections..i dont think mine came with a fuse i cant remember, but i put one in anyway..i think i went with a 25 amp.. you will thank yourself later when the fuse blows instead of the wire melting the insulation all the way through you car and possibly catching something on fire.. if you do a good clean install there is probably a 98.9% chance nothing will ever short out but just in case of a component failure or whatever a 3 dollar fuse holder is good insurance on anything electrical..
