neilc Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 The series works without fuses , this has come to my attention as I am replacing yet another melted stalk , I understand this is something to do with the feed being on the wrong side of the fusebox so it's permanently live , is there an easy way to resolve this , what is the process please , I'd really appreciate some help , as always , thanks.

FridgeFreezer Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Well, the best way is to put a proper blade fusebox in - there' some compact 4 or 8-way ones that would work - it's nice to separate out a few things, and LR don't fuse the lighting circuits because glass fuses can't handle the current Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Is it the headlight contacts that are melting on the stalk ? Even with sealed beam lights they will melt and if you have halogen units they draw more power . Relays are the solution , put your own together or buy a kit . cheers Steve b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagger Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Relays make a world of difference, especially if you use 17a or higher wiring to feed the relay and connect it to the lamps (the relay is controlled by the original lamp wire). That minimises electrical resistance in the whole circuit, so no more melting switches and much better illumination, whatever bulb type you have.
