Question about fundamentals of power circuits
On the fuse block in my Camaro, most of the "hot" wires are all interconnected to each other. There are probably a half-dozen "hot" wires, all coming from various power sources. I noticed that one of these wires, which connects into the taillight fuse circuit, was disconnected. The taillights still worked, however, due to the redundancy of the fuse block. Would having this wire disconnected cause any problems with power load, since the other wires would have to "make up" for the lost electricity in the disconnected wire?
I intend on reconnecting the disconnected wire; I was just curious about some of the theory behind this.

There is an orange wire that bridges the ACC fuse and the TAIL fuse and a orange wire that comes off the other side of the Tail fuse going to the light switch.
