One way to save fuses is to wire a sealed beam headlight cross the fuse holder of the fuse that blows. As long as the short is present, the light will be on, and the resistance of the filament prevents wire harness damage. Disconnecting components or moving the harness will lead to the short when the lamp goes out.
Remember, a fuse only blows when current flow is high. Because a switch is not a load (and should have almost NO resistance) it can not cause the fuse to blow by itself. I'll try to look at my '73 in the morning. I can't imagine they could be wired much differently |
