Hi Stein,
The maximum current is 20A, but this is usually only there during a short moment, and it is not present for long enough to blow a 5A fuse. The normal running current is much lower.
What size is your fuse? and are you using a slow-blow fuse?

Hello, fuse size is 10A, i have tried 20A too, but its the same, it blow anyway, i think it is jnder stopping engine it happend,
Maybe a solution is to find ignition power and connect via relay, so when engine stop, the power on energize input disapppear...
