How far should the amp fuse be from the battery?
Eighteen inches
You can optimize the protection your fuse provides by installing it as close to the battery as possible — that increases the length of the protected cable behind it. Eighteen inches from the battery is the maximum distance we recommend.
Should I fuse positive or negative?
Recommended practice is to place the fuse near the positive terminal of the battery, so the whole circuit will be dead if the fuse blows. (Of course, if the positive terminal is considered Ground, place the fuse near the negative terminal.)
Should battery be close to fuse?

How do I know if my fuse box has power?
Locate the small holes on each end of the blade-type fuses; those holes give you access to the blades inside the fuse. Insert the pointed tip of the red test lead first in one hole and then in the other. If you read 12-volts to ground on one end but not the other, the fuse is blown and needs to be replaced.
Where should a fuse be connected?
Fuses are always connected in series with the component(s) to be protected from overcurrent, so that when the fuse blows (opens) it will open the entire circuit and stop current through the component(s).
