bangin_explorer Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 nope. and there is a very good reason why you dont want to use one. - every time that breakers goes off it degrades and that choice of protection is being less and less reliable every time it goes off. - a fuse thermally burns up when it has surpassed its limit so you can deem it more reliable than a breaker to do so. a fuse will be more reliable than a breaker, i rather spend a few a bucks more to keep a stash of extra fuses then to have a breaker that may or may not work when needed good lookin' out, ive never had it trip yet so i guess u just saved my ass...lol.. im going out there and taking those off and tossing the fuses back in... thanks for the heads up and that i asked... never knew that.... .......................................................

Just take your time and follow the steps! easy for you to say. on my first attempt my car went BOOM. i blew a freegin hole through the front fender. im still paying the body shop for that one. i just want as much info on this subject before i do it. like for instance if i cannot fit the extra ring terminal on my alt what do i do? plus i have a side post battery what do i do? ----reference's---- meade916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
