Auxiliary fuse box on 360 B200E – What’s it do???

Post by **jimc101** » 26 Dec 2005 01:50 pm

Hi All

Does anyone know what the purpose of this fuse box is except to break the car down at an inopportune moment and have an RAC man looking everywhere for an hour and a half pulling the car apart only to find a blown fuse hidden behind the battery?

Thanks

James

Aren't these fuses something to do with the Injection stuff?

These fuses are for the electric fuel pump and the foglights.

That'll be the thing I was thinking about then

Indeed, completely stupid place for it IMO. Behind the battery, where it can collect moisture, and the vibrations can work the important fuse loose, meaning the fuel pump won't work. First place to look on an injection 360 if it suddenly stops working! It was basically an afterthough, as the other 300's are carbs, so the injection models needed these fuses, and the GLT was equipped with fogs, needing a fuse as well, so they probably said, ah that'll do, stick em in there where no one will find them!

My previous 360 suddenly stopped working. I didn't know about these fuses. It took me a few days to find out

Best bet is to move them to a sensibloe position.

That might be a nice project for the holidays
