Need to identify fuse block "terminals"

Post by F100 Dad »

1970 F100 fuse block web.jpg
Can anyone tell me about the two blade "terminals" in the center of the left side of the fuse block?

What are they for?
What are they rated?
Are they fused?

I have determined they supply 12 volts when the key is in either the On or Accessory positions.

It appears they are there as additional accessory terminals. I would advise adding an additional in-line fuse to any circuit you add.

I just hooked up my accessory VOLTS gauge to one of those blades with an inline fuse also, works great.
