What amperage of fuse does it call for??? Perhaps a shorter fuse would be of the correct amps.

In my '48 Dodge D25 with original wiring it takes a 3 amp fuse which is 5/8" long. I am helping restore a 1947 Chrysler Windsor limousine which used to be the local city ambulance. It also took a 5/8" fuse that was 3 amp. I replaced the wiring under the dash of that car with a harness from YnZ and that was the size of the fuse holder in both the new harness and old. I guess 2 or 3 amp will work but I have used a 3 amp for over 20 years with no problem. I am assuming Chrysler, Desoto, Dodge, and Plymouth used the same size fuse for all their clocks which would make sense. Hope this helps.

Or you could hot wire the clock circuit and put a line fuse behind it.

don't recommend the hot wire of the clock..the fuse is to open the circuit should the contacts stick and keep the coil energized..the short time the clock points are making kicks the mechanism and therefore the current is less than if sticking and continious draw...
