Fuse replacement (not the Swiss breaker style)
Fuse replacement (not the Swiss breaker style)
Is there any reason why I can't replace my 30 year old (ceramic?) fuses with a suitable amperage modern glass bulb with filament?
The original fuses are listed as part 09-40-71 and are not available on the SAV website.
Some bush mechanic has wrapped a few loops of wire around one of mine already - something to investigate.
Logic would say a fuse is a fuse, but these old trucks have some tricks up theirs sleeves.
Thanks,
Mick

Please post a pic of your fuses; there are several variations to that topic ...

I got a whole assortment of fuses off Amazon (factory type) for something like $11 shipped. They work perfect, look neat, and were cheap.
I don't see any reason why a different type wouldn't work though. Amperage is amperage. Just make sure it's in there securely.

The second from the bottom is the one wrapped with wire.
Sorry my cab is so dirty, but some local kids threw bricks through my windows this summer
Re: Fuse replacement (not the Swiss breaker style)
Many European cars used this style back in the day. The glass type fuses won't fit. You should be able to source replacement fuses locally, the body maybe plastic or ceramic. Think older VW, BMW, etc.

Ok, will have a look.
Just need to work out how many amps they all are. Couldn't see any ratings printed on the body.
All the documents/manuals for electrical I have are for the breaker style (I think, will check).

Could you please post a photo of the ones you found that fit?kdiqq wrote:I got a whole assortment of fuses off Amazon (factory type) for something like $11 shipped. They work perfect, look neat, and were cheap.
Seems like the vast majority of users here have Swiss style.

Re: Fuse replacement (not the Swiss breaker style)
these fuses are colourcoded: yellow 5a, white 8a, red 16a, blue 25a
search Amazon for "torpedo fuses"

The rating of the new fuses is quite clear.Hotzenplotz wrote:these fuses are colourcoded: yellow 5a, white 8a, red 16a, blue 25a

But do you have a chart for which fuse goes where though?
For example :
fuse #7 is 20A
fuse #8 is 10A
I haven't found any wiring diagrams or manuals which have this detail yet...
I am sure I cannot trust what is in there now, as proven by the fencing wire fuse in #11

So I only misuse the English language when I speak with a drawl in my vowels
