 |
|
The Europa wiring diagram shows 1A fuses to protect the wires
penetrating the firewall from the current shunt and the starter
relay. However, no fuses are shown on the wires from the regulator to
the alternator warning light. I plan to put a fuse in both these
wires (as, if I understand the operation aright, both will normally
be at a nominal 12V).
Is there any reason why I shouldn't fuse these wires - or indeed why
fuses are not shown on the digram?
regards
Rowland

The "typical" setup for most alternator warning lights, is for the bulb to
actually earth through
the regulator, and the rising voltage stops this from happening when the
alternator is working correctly
thus shutting off the light, the 12v for the lamp will in effect be going
out through the firewall
instead of in, which may be why the dont show a fuse, the worst result of a
short in the line would likely
be the light coming on and staying on. But please check the diagram to be
sure this is the case.
