In-Line Ignition/gauge panel, four bank, 12 volt Fuse block
« on: April 09, 2012, 05:32:32 PM »
Hello all;

Directly behind my gauge panel on the wiring harness I have the above mentioned fuse block. It is in-line and I have four identical fuse replacements in case I short our.  I have not bought one for 15 years........any idea who has these now?  I am down to my last fuse, the others have long since burned out.

Many thanks
Nick

There are a lot of different kinds of inline fuses.  Glass AGC, Automotive ATC, mini ATC,...

A photo would help a lot.

As it turns out this is a Volvo part, about $66 bucks

Wow,  I've never seen anything like that!  And Volvo prices are absurd.

You could replace it with any in-line fuseholder with a replaceable cartridge fuse, as long as you get the current rating right.

There's nothing "magic" about a Volvo fuse! 

You could use something like this (http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|328|296553|319681&id=50638 )
or this ( http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|328|296553|336270&id=333199 ).  Replacement fuses are
only a few bucks and available at any automotive store.

Yes, I considered this...but its really convenient having the four fuses all lined up and the quick connect when you need it. I also considered a breaker switch, which would probably work just as well.  McDonnell Marine in Bloomfield CT does discount Volvo parts so I got it for $60 bucks. Most don't. He has a lot of MD11c Parts, even used. I'm sure it will last the next 20 years
