Default mild to wild

hi guys i know iv'e seen this answered before but i can't seem to find it.Maybe someone can help. I have already installed the retractable licence plate mechanism using the "heated seats" fuse.Now Im installing my "old school" mild to wild switch and it says to use the fuse that i'm alread using for my other application.Does anyone know what other fuse i can replace w/this switch that won't be a drain on the battery?

Why don't you share the same fuse between retractable license and mild to wild? Get a tab after the fuse.

...or just do a little internet search and buy the exact components to build the remote control version for about $25 and 30 minutes of time...

Just hook it up according to the instructions and you will not have any battery drain. One of the first mods I did and my battery lasted 5 yrs without any problems.

can you please explain your phraseology"tab after the fuse'? I am not electrically " inclined" and I dont want to short something out.Thats why I paid $50 for a $5 switch w/ wiring.
