Re: [DML] Fuse question

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

With the exception of fuse # 7, all of the circuit fuse ratings are conservatively rated. Concerning the brake light circuit, one extra bulb will not overwhelm the 10 amp fuse. The 15 amp fuse will continue to provide overload protection therefore you can continue to use that fuse in the brake light circuit.

CAUTION: When replacing fuses in the fuse block inspect the condition or the fuse connectors for the fuse you are replacing. Any signs of corrosion, overheating, or distortion will require replacement with a heavy duty in- line fuse replacement. Additionally any signs of melting of the fuse block for that particular fuse will also require an in-line replacement.

Subject: [DML] Fuse question


I noticed that I had no brake lights. The fuse was broken.
It calls for a 10 amp fuse. I recently connected a third tail light 
that came installed on the car mounted on the luvures. I put in a 15 
amp fuse for the tail lights because with the addition of the third 
tail light a 10 amp may not be enough. Is my thinking correct or am I 
making a mistake. What is and how do you figure the amp load of your 
brake light circit.
