BIg Fuse Again (Sorry)

[JohnSW20]

Hi Guys

Could someone who know what they are doing tell me which fuse I need? I've tried the RS web site and it brings up loads. I don't know which one I need. The battery is now flat so I'm looking to remove and charge and at the same time fit a new fuse so I can take the bridge cable off from the Alt to the Battery.

Cheers

John

100 amp fuse, looks like this if I recall correctly



>> Edited to add that I don't necessarily know what I'm doing, but you should be able to get it from a 'good' electrical motor factors apparently

Given the regularity with which these things blow in winter has anyone thought of putting TWO in at the same time ?

Yes; or a six inch nail?

Thanks for the help Guys

I can now get rid of the red battery cable I had the AA put on to get me home from the alt, although I am tempted to leave it on the rev counter has never worked so well!!! and the dash lights are now bright.

Cheers

Hi ya Paul, the effect of the two 100A fuses will in effect create a 200A fuse, with the cable to the alternator only rated @ 100A, your asking for a burning.

That said my fuse popped the other week & I just coupled the wires together. Now sorted.

Mine is like that at the moment, very dodgy! First repair to be done to mine. Replacing a fuse is a lot easier than a burnt out cable.
