About a year ago a member here sold a battery fuse kit (Spoke?) Never thought I'd use it but it looked cool.
Started the teener tonight and after a minuted it went Dead Instantly! Knew it was electrical and since I'd recently installed a tach, decided to check the wires. Looked OK. and the dash fused were ok too. Checked the battery fused and found a blown 25 amp fuse. When I think of what might have melted without that fuse................... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) As soon as the butterfly horn was off, I see a cut horn wire. The DAPO installed this and I have been to lazy to wire it right. Pulled off the horn wire, installed a new fuse, and took her for a spin! With Tim's new LED dash lights, I love driving after dark. So,,,fuse the battery and let Tim do your dash.

Porsche seems to have a long history of questionable electrical items. My '84 Carrera Targa needed to have 5 additional wires fused as the factory didn't have any (though they did eventually add some to later models).
A fuse or circuit breaker in the circuits fed off the battery would be a nice added level of protection for the wiring. |
