CHANGED MY CAR FUSES TO LED BLADE FUSES.

Post by lezmtaylor » Tue Dec 18, 2012 4:18 pm

I have been a bit bored of late with recuperating from the spine op and was on the lookout for an easy, functional mod for my 2002 4.4 .
So having blown a couple of fuses recently and had the hassle of finding them thought that these led fuses which glow when blown would be handy.
So there are 2 fuse clusters,  1 in the glove box and 1 in the cargo (boot) on the R side behind a drop down panel.
You will need : Glove Box .... 5 amp...29
                                        7.5amp...7
                                        10 amp...2
                                        15 amp...3
                                        20 amp...3
                                        25 amp...3
                                        30 amp...8


                    Cargo Area      5 amp...2
                                        7.5 amp...3
                                        10 amp...1
                                        15 amp...nil
                                        20 amp...4
                                        25 amp...nil
                                        30 amp...4

There are mini blade fuses and standard blade fuses, we require standard blade fuses.

Now I sourced my blade fuses from 2 suppliers on Ebay :

Item number 230655310927.  6 @£2 for 20...(various sizes)..............................................£20

Item number 400349044698    1@ 25 x 5 amp fuses.....................................£14.27    plus £3 postage

I know there are other, larger fuses in the system, but they will cost a bomb to do, so will leave at this for the time being.

Very useful considering how difficult the front one is to get at.  That won't do anyone's back any good!  Nice find.. :ok:
