Morning all,
Over the weekend the local car club had a garage tour of various projects of
members, lots of fun. At one stop the owner of a Healey was saying the
regulator that was shared in the TR2&3's, Healey's and others had a funny
dangerous quirk. If you pull the fuses from the fuse block you can actually
run the car, with full lights etc. The down side is the huge possibility of
a wiring harness fire. It seems the regulator can feed back into the
circuit, bypassing the fuses, and over feed the harness.
Has anybody heard of this? I would assume some part of this true due to the
inline fuse that is added for additional rear circuit protection. Any
clarifications available? Is there anything to worry about? Any other
precautions?
Thanks
