In Arizona you don't have the moisture that some parts of the USA have to deal with. Here in the Pacific Northwest the moisture in the air will corrode things like fuse blocks unless they are protected. When you buy a 30+ year old car - sometimes its too late for prevention. I may be looking at replacing my fuse block and having some alternatives is nice.
Well Harry, sometimes it's a lot easier to fix things when u have indication they may be close to failure. I'd rather fix it at home than have to be towed off the highway, possibly get injured in the process- not to mention the inconvience and financial pain involved. And, u still have to fix it if ur going to use the car. That's just my opinion.
NAPA fuseblock rthomas771 I like that NAPA unit. Does it have a relay in it? How do u use/wire it for the switched side? What is max amps? Looks like it's nice & small fit most anywher... Thanks for the post
Just connect a feed wire, switched or un-switched, to the stud terminal and a spade connector to the device you want to have power. For relays I mounted a relay bank from a late 80's Dodge Caravan under the hood.
rthomas771 {FUSEBLOCK} That's a nice setup all the wiring done looks gud. Im sure u'v inspired some here to tidy-up some of their rats nest wiring jobs. I am the first to be inspired. What I need to do is get the math work together and see what gauge wires to use w/ what fused circuits. That's a project for the spring; a little cold hr now for finessing wires. Thanks for the pics and info
