joeferret Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Can someone tell me please regarding a 1954 Ferret MK1 for the headlights is there a fuse or relay for them ? IF there is where is it located ? Do the headlights have all 24 volts going to them ? Thank you for any responses, Joe in USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Joe there are two thermal cutouts in the Distribution Box No.1 Mk 1. 10A and 30A, the headlights come from the 30A one. If there has been a short circuit it will take a minute or so to recover. If no recovery then water may have got in and it will be rusted up. Yes they get full 24v. The Distribution Box box has the jump start socket. Edited February 26, 2014 by fv1609 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Joe basically: 10A Instruments & ignition Can carry: 11A for 15 mins 20A for 10-25 secs 30A Lights & horn Can carry: 35A for 15 mins 60A for 11-50 secs So there is a bit of latitude if you have an overload.
