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.

So is it just the headlights that run off the 30 amp and the turn/stop/tail lights on the 10 amp ?

Thank you Clive.....

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.

 

Thank you very much sir...That's what I needed...I wish you the very best with your vehicles...

Sincerely,
