M201 jeep electric/lights problem


Recommended Posts

I have a M201 hotchkiss jeep, 24 volt system.

I was checking the bulbs in the dash board lights when one of the teminals touched the bodywork & made a spark & crackle & all the lights went out!! :(

None of the lights now work (side, headlights, brake lights, indicators)

I have a Willys workshop manual (1948) which says there is a circuit breaker behind(?) the light switch. I've had a brief look on my jeep but can't see anything immediatly apparent.

However there appears to be some sort of relay attached to the bulkhead, with wires to the light switch. But if this the circuit breaker I can't work out how to reset it.

 

Does any one know how to sort this out?

 

some one did suggest putting in an in-line fuse, but what Amp would be needed for the fuse?

 

Any help greatly appreciated, then I'll start wondering about the thrust bearing :(
