I agree that you should add a fuse, but it doesn't need to be very big
if it's just for a turn-on signal.  An 8 A (white) pointy VW fuse, a 5 A
blade fuse, or a 1 A round glass fuse is probably plenty.  The turn-on
signal is probably much less than an amp.

The turn-on signal is probably small enough that it won't cause a
problem with the existing fuse.
