Radio question

Hi,

I have a 1999 td5 defender and the cd player lost power the other day. After a bit of probing I discovered it was the constant power feed that comes from the drivers fusebox that wasn't working. So I cut this behind the stereo and ran a new cable from the fusebox behind the gear lever. I jammed it in to a 20amp fuse for the air con. Since I don't have air con i didn't think this would matter. Do you think I should lower the ampage of the fuse. Its original fuse was a 20amp in the driverside fusebox, but that powers other stuff as well. The hazards and the interior light I think. The cd player has a 10amp fuse on the back of it as well so I'm thinking that'll be a safegaurd.
I'm hoping to either reinstate the original wire route, or make permanent the bodge by adding my new cable to the fuse box.

If it's just feeding the radio, change the fuse for a 10 amp one.

Radio? Is it all Ga Ga?

What's the best way of getting wires in and out of the fuse box. I've tried but they seem stuck fast.

It is. It's all ga ga.
