mikemaker Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Howdy all; The 48' P15 is in need of a headlight switch fuse as I have blown mine and have no spare. What the correct amperage? I can't seem to find it in any of my books? Also, my blown fuse is 1 7/16 in length, I may need a source for them as my auto parts store don't carry them. Thanks.

RobertKB Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 30 amps is what I am running in my D25 and I'm pretty sure that is correct. The length of mine is also 1 7/16". Got mine at a local jobbers (privately owned auto parts store) here in town. Shouldn't be that hard to trace down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Yergin Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Around here you can find the glass tube fuses at Lowe's home improvement store in the electrical aisle. Jim Yergin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Hemingway Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I got mine at Kragen Auto it is a SFE-30 by Buss Fuses. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 They are longer than the standard tube type fuse. A .22 calibre long rifle brass could be substituted....recommend it be discharged first.......or you could wrap the old one with some chewin' gum tinfoil.

james curl Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Back in 53 I was driving my folks 48 home at night and hit the dimmer switch and blew the fuse. We didn't have a new fuse so used tin foil from chewing gum to get home. Next day replaced with a new fuse and never had the problem again. That was the first and last time I or my folks drove the car out of town. The dimmer switch probably hadn't ever been used before I hit it for bright lights. I used to think something was wrong with my folks as they seldom ventured out at night, now 55 years later I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
