Hi David, 

What fuse ratings (amps, slow/fast blow) do you recommend for the OD and rear 
lights section? 

Bob 


----- Original Message -----



Yes that is also another circuit that could take a fuse. The white wire that 
feeds the OD relay could take an inline fuse

While I can't disagree with an expert like David, I have seen two wiring 
harnesses destroyed by the OD circuit, one was a failed switch and one by a 
pinched wire to the gear switch. I agree the pinched wire was most likely a 
poor routing and clamping of the wire, but it happened. Neither were on my 
Healey.

Install an inline fuse holder on the back of the headlight switch on the RED 
wire. This will fuse the tail lights, dash lights and front marker lights.

The only other circuits that you may need to add a fuse to would be the white

DO NOT fuse the headlights unless you fuse each individual light, left low

having seen a couple of wiring harnesses fried from shorts in the rear light 
circuits, I highly recommend fusing the tail light, license plate light and 
brake lights. seems stuff rolling around in the boot/trunk will eventually wear 
through the wiring and smoke escapes rapidly. if you check the trunk 
faithfully, no problem. watch for the loss of the little grommet for the 
license plate light. very costly if gone. have I fused my cars? of course not. 
will get to it one day.
