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? |

Some of the fuse circuits in the old panel are bridged on the hot side so one hot lead supplies three fuses with power.
The aftermarket panels don't have the bridging and must be added or some circuits won't have power. Is it possible that the ignition wire from the switch is one of those coming off the panel from a "dead" circuit? |
