I'm going to have several electrical questions. 1st, Is pin #8, on the 14 pin plug at the relay board, the only switched 12v+ source in the engine compartment? TIA, Kent

Kent,
The designations before the Amperage is for applications such as voltage, current flash over, and several other factors. Also designates glass enclosed or ceramic enclosed, what type of coating on the ends, etc. You would need to look each one up to determine which fuses these are meant for. This is why I stayed with ATC for my fuse blocks. It prevents someone from putting a clear glass fuse that "looks" the same in a circuit and the fuse is not rated at what the person thought. I don't know how many times I have worked on electronic equipment that some one replaced the fuse with one that looked identical until you read the inscription on the fuse that indicated it was for a 28 volt use and it was placed in a 125 volt circuit. Not good, as the fuse was no longer protecting the circuit as the proper fuse would. If you are interested in expanding your knowledge, look up "FUSEOLOGY". Very enlightening. Tom Edit: some research discovered. AG = auto glass AGU = Fast-Acting Glass Tube Midget Fuses |
