How can two or more accessories (say heater and indicators ) share the same fuse without both coming on at the same time?
When one thing is switched on will it not bypass the switch of the other where the wires join at the fuse box?

Ray,

Your fuse should be on the live side of your switches. i.e. between your battery and switches. Your appliances will be connected to the other side of their separate switches.

Its weird being the same age as old people.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution

Hi
Aren't the shared fuses between the power feed and the switches rather than between the switch and the item in question?
