Fuse on Passenger Side Fender

Post by cghstrojan08 »

Not sure but what is this fuse for? It is on the passenger side fender on my '68 just below the solenoid. Any idea? Everything seems to be working on the truck as far as I know.

That fuse is for your AMP gauge. There should be a second fuse holder in that area. It's for the AMP gauge too.

Awesome, makes since. Might have helped me when my alternator went bad.

Those plastic fuse holders don't seem to fare well in an under-hood environment. You might want to look for some that will hold up better. I've had them break in the same way yours did in less hostile environments.

And, based on the wiring diagram, there should be two fuses/holders.

Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in garages. (Apologies to Kenneth Grahame.)
