Hi Bob,
I saw no answer from david, so can give you my approach:
I use a 10 Amps (slow blow) fuse for the OD relay feed (Overdrive solenoid=
=20
pulls 20 Amps when engaging and as soon as engaged - after one second -=20
goes down to 1 Amp)
For the rear lights section I have a 10 Amps fuse fitted, doesn=C2=B4t matt=
er=20
slow or fast.

Hi David,

What fuse ratings (amps, slow/fast blow) do you recommend for the OD and=20
rear lights section?

Yes that is also another circuit that could take a fuse. The white wire=20
that feeds the OD relay could take an inline fuse=20

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.

This is the one of the only circuit that really needs to have a
fuse added to it on the 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 wire going to the fuel pump, you can install it where
the harness goes under the car just behind the rear carburettor.
DO NOT fuse the headlights unless you fuse each individual light,
left low beam, right low beam, left high beam, right high beam.

Subject: [Healeys] fuse box
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.
