Title: Bizarre auxiliary fuse box
Post by: col320ce on June 21, 2020, 12:42:23

Both channels are linked... Seems odd to do this. I wanted to use it as a constant and switched ignition aux power supply. I assumed there was some metal caught behind it.

If you look underneath the new one the poles aren't connected whereas they are on mine...

Indeed, I see , looks strange, maybe special usage.

Is only one side connected or both sides?

If one side only - one power source to two circuits. Would work maybe for fog lights, left and right.

It is common to find these connected in this way. However, I believe they are made both ways. One version with a common power source and the other version isolated.

It definitely flummoxed me for a bit as I has just renewed the wiring harness and put this in at the same time with both a permanent and ignition switched input. This resulted in the switched ignition curcuit being live as soon as I connected the battery.  Unfortunately I pulled the instrument cluster out thinking that I had made a mistake there.
I'll get one with 2 channels in and 2 out as I want the radio to turn off with the ignition but I have an auto aerial. All to be installed soon!
Thanks for all the comments
