John, I don't know the current draw, but I would strongly suggest = that you replace fuses in critical circuits like ignition with quality = circuit breakers. Fuses are OK and have their place and I used them in = my aircraft but, in my opinion they do NOT belong in a critical = circuit. I have never reset a fuse, but I have reset circuit breakers = that popped due to a temporary overload and got the system back in = operation. FWIW Ed I gotta go with Ed's recommendation.
