Thread: fusible link question

Tweet

OK, I got the fuse block repaired. The hot wire I pulled through straight to the horn relay, eliminating my previous splice, with the watertight butt splice. The ground wire I just used some 10awg quick connects. The lock tabs broke off the connector plugs, so I'll have to keep an eye on them. I may just smear the plug body flanges with silicone to glue them in. I also bolted the ammeter ring terminals together, and wrapped with black tape. Thus the alternator gauge is out of business.

You could use one of the amp meter's lugs as a junction point with no worry of the wire shorting against anything.

Oh, just read the comments on the black tape. Good stuff. I try to avoid tape whenever possible, but in an application such as this, I end my wrap with a dab of super glue. They never come loose.

BUT, the more I think of it, the more I like using a gauge lug as junction. I think that's how I'll do it.
