Title: Littelfuse
Post by: Not Happy Jan on March 30, 2009, 11:45:47 PM
Hi Guys
Could somebody tell me if i can open up the base that the littel fuse plugs into. I have only the yellow wire coming out of mine and the others have corroded away.
Or are they avaiable anywhere new.
Or someone got a spare???

I went to Auto one in Chatswood and they couldn't help me.?? Brought in the fuse and the base.
It's the base I want not the metal bit.
Its got a bakerlite base and screws onto the brakepedal mount (?) and breaks contact when the brake pedal is applied. Sorry for my ignorance of the correct naming. :-[
It has four wires exiting. One yellow two black from the blinkers on the dash and one other which is missing on mine. It's the stop light switch. I think! ???

Not really, any decent auto electrician should have them. Get a good one though, metal thread not the plastic threaded ones.

Sounds more like the blinker can mount. Your brake light switch has 2 wires only.

Yes its the flasher can mount you want - It has 3 slots in the top for an aluminium canister to plug into.
I can supply you a good working second hand one complete with canister if you need it. You wont get a new original style one to fit straight into your harness.

Send me a pm
