I am installing the new Jwwest fuse box and
I have a 3" section of wire off the #5 back row fuse that has melted insulation(grey with black stripe) what is the best way to replace and splice in the new piece and what gauge wire is correct? |

Circuit board in place with a few new connectors and a couple damaged ones replaced. I have to wait for tomorrow when I get the new battery.
No more bumping fuses out with my knee getting into the car! Attached thumbnail(s)

Since I'm down to one 914 I should sell one. you are right, it probably is an Engmann- bought it a few years back and hadnt gotten around to putting it in. but after blowing another fuse, knocking one loose - found that partly melted wire i knew i need to fix that make sure all the connections and grounds were good. every thing seems to check out and work- except for starting LOL! but so far no smoke no blown fuses no melted or burning wires. |
