what will I see on the backside? are there connections on the back or do I have to replace the fuseblock?
Darned if I know. My knowledge of fuse blocks is on a par with the dirt question I got asked when I wanted to know if I could grow a certain crop at my farm.
He wanted to know what kind of dirt I had.
I told him as far as know, its just the regular kind of dirt. At least it just lays there and is pretty darned polite about it.
When it comes to fuse blocks, its the same way. Most of them just hang there and do their job.
So I never really had a need to disturb them.
My one and only time working on one curiously enough was a Chevy. No one ever believes me about it, because the guy is dead and I have no other witnesses.
They think I made it up from that joke.
I was hunting with another club from my usual bunch, when we lost a guy.
He was not where he was supposed to be, and we could not raise him on the radio.
Then, he came on and said he had an electrical problem, that killed his radio and engine.
He had gotten it going, temporarily, and was on the way.
He was just telling us where he was, when we heard what sounded like the beginnings of a gunshot and then the radio went dead.
I was closest, and went to find him. Found him sitting on the side of the road, with two beer cans on the ground and working on a third.
None of the bunches I hunt with drink anything while hunting, so I was surprised. But he looked white as a sheet.
I walked up, and he pointed at his fuse block, which was scattered all over the inside of the cab.
It seems that a wire came loose and blew a couple of fuses. He replaced one, but needed another to get the truck going.
He thought he had fixed the loose wire, so he looked around and found a .22 cartridge and put it in the fuse holder.
Trouble was, he had not fixed the short.
When he hit a bump, another wire shorted, and the .22 fired blowing the fuse block all to pieces.
The casing, being lighter, did most of the traveling.
I found the original short, tied enough wires together to make the truck run, and got him home.
I promised him I would not tell what he had done, so no one else ever knew.
He pulled the fuse block off an old junker he had at his house, and hooked it back up.
I forget what he told them happened, but he got away with it because no one else ever saw the block.
They all just thought it melted or burned up.
