How to add fuse holder for fuse # 16 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be mybricks on  Sat Dec 10 03:34 CST 2005 [RELATED]

1989 745 TiC, 245k.

Fuse # 16 melted. No blower motor.

Thought about replacing entire fuse board. Bought a nice one and everything. Then started to do it. Uh, I think I'll try the second option first. Attach a fuse holder and run it off the fuse # 16 wires. So, Does anyone have any detailed instructions, and possibly pictures on how to do this???

It is starting to get cold, even here in SC.

Thanks so much as usual. Peace



Buy a new fuse holder and power the AC and heater with it.
If you choose option 2, you must pull the central electrical unit out and turn it over. Splice a fuse holder into the lead supplying power to fuse 16. Splice the load side of the new fuse into the black lead supplying power to the heater and AC unit. You must continue to supply power to fuse 16, as fuses 14 and 15 are fed from the supply side of fuse 16. It is possible to intercept those black wires elsewhere, but it is easiest for me at the CEU. If you can get enough slack in the black wire which supplies fuse 16, a red wire nut works great for spicing the new fuse holder in and keeping fuse 16 supplied with power. The fix will be less than $5 US.
