I wouldn't bother with a fuse for a volt meter, its internal wires and
coil(s) are really small wire, so if it shorts out and burns, it won't
damage anything else.
I would connect it from ground to a switched power source such as the
wiper feed or radio feed. Some folks wire them so they read all the time,
but I don't like the idea of intentionally hooking up a load tht stays on
all the time, even if it is a small one! (Alright, I don't disconnect my
modern radio, but that's it!)
Peace,
Pat
