ucw458 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) Wont work. There is a 3/8" difference in height on the fuse link box between in and out. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d182/Professor-Quest123/Catalog%201/CAT-92.jpg Edited September 24, 2013 by ucw458 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squrlsquash Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 any similar fuse panels on later model mitsu's? one that uses maxi-fuses instead of links - something close, would be just a matter of soldering some leads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 you think of it or see it , it's already been done by some one one problem with the over size fuse assy's is finding spade terminals to fit them , u-ppull-it's are full or cars with all sorts of diff fuse combinations,, all it takes is a little ambition and tools to do it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer blue cable is connected to the battery positive, and I'm using a RF distribution block with 4 blade-type maxi fuses, no more fusible links. Had it since 2006, no problems, just gotta clean all the block/fuse contacts every once in a while http://imageshack.us/a/img460/690/1000073tr6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFBMX88 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Took the fuse element block off an early 90s Mazda b-series truck in the junkyard. They are also in other Mazda models. http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=128455&st=40 http://i.imgur.com/WiEoE.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedog_37 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Question is what size fuse for what Color wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zactek Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Question is what size fuse for what Color wire? I've been using 30Amp for all except the ECi fuse which is 20Amp. If you do the research and compare, that's what they add up, been using those sizes for many years without frying anything. Zack K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jszucs Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 ^ really your only concern going fuses over fusable links is fuses even slow blow are just going to quick blow with any type of spke, and the fusable link will take a while to melt. So because of this you need to over fuse VS what the fuseable link would be rated at a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87star Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I've said it before and I'll say it again, fuses and fuse links protect circuits differently. If you actually look at the wiring diagrams you'll see they have both in the same circuit. Nothing against those wanting to try, just pointing out the engineers (and there was more than one) had a bigger picture in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 almost every car built uses slow blow fuseable links ,, even those with pop fuses use them on major circiurts , because some circurts you do not want to fail with out warning ,, lets take power window fuses,, one motor draws 5 amps but the circurt has a 10 amp fuse,, so what if all the windows are being used at one time , and you have 4 windows,, it is posible to pop a fuse and there not be any real problem or short , thats just one example and maybe not a good one but you get the idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFBMX88 Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) http://www.autoshop1...ection/113.html "Fuse elements have replaced fusible links for the most part" http://www.autoshop1...ection/118.html "Many manufacturers have replaced fusible links with fuse elements or maxi fuses." Now, could the actual fuse element be protecting its circuit in the same way as a fuse link? Edited September 28, 2013 by SFBMX88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 almost a power circurts in an automobile have more then one protective circurt ,, every fuse in the car has a fuseable link in the circurt some where , esp circurts that depend'd on to keep the car runing and or moveing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
