55 Fargo Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hi all, was just wondering if a 2 or 3 amp fuse, that is 5/8 of an inch long is the correct fuse for a MOpar clock. I did not have an old fuse in the holder, the holder appeasr to have only eough room for a fuse about 5/8 of an inch long......Thanx Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrambler Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I checked out several of the P-15 clocks I have, plus I also looked at a P-12 clock. All of the had the short, stumpy glass fuse you mention, but, they are all 20 amp fuses. Hope that this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55 Fargo Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Thanx Skrambler, but I think 20 amp is a little high, 2 or 3 should be right..Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Frank Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Fred, A rule of thumb that I use when connecting a new but "unknown" electrical load is to connect an ammeter in series with it for a minute or so, double the current reading, and fuse it at the first higher value fuse that is available. Not that I would disagree with "2 or 3 should be right". Rgds, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 There is really no difference in the coil of the earlier Plymouth and the '49 clock and as how both are on 6 volt, the schematic of the 49 Plymouth has an inline fuse rated at 3 AMP. The P15 schematic assigns no vlaue nor does the D24 schematic..the 49 Plymouth is the only schematic Ihave access to that show fuse value...FWI'sW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan D25 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 According to my (Canadian) shop manual, there should be an inline 2 amp fuse behind the clock in a Chrysler. Brendan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrambler Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Well, curiousity got the best of me, so I did a little digging into my old "stuff". Came up with this. It is a 2 amp fuse, as you can see from the two photos attached. Time for me to get my glasses changed! Hope this helped.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrodork Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Is the clock fuse called 1AG2? I tried finding some shorter fuses but they're still too long. If I had a part number, I'm that much more ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebelvedereman Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 hey did anyone ever find out what fuse is used for the clock, I hot-wired the clock for a second in my 47 Dodge and the clock does work, but there is no fuse in the holder, and I can't seem to find one short enough to fit in there any place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I ordered some for my clock. I'll go check what they are and get back to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 glass fuses are still easily located and economically only a tad higher. You can go with the mini fuses of today cheap enough. Buy the pigtail of corresponding gauge wire and pop in the fuse rating of your choice.....as majority of fuses are often out of sight out of mind who will be the wiser but the doer?

thebelvedereman Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 using the number Casper gave me I looked them up on the internet, and I found a bunch on eBay and ordered some they were pretty cheap, hopefully the right length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 if you ordered a 1AG you got the right length, .625 as is the size for 1---AG means Automobile Glass notice though, that 2 is same length but a different diameter...(smaller: .177 size of a BB) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
