Well, i finally got to work on the rewire, now i need to know which wires to put fuses on going in and out of the computer.
Thanks
Thanks
CRASH said:You need Maxi-fuses on all the wires that used to have fusible links. You are keeping the OEM fuse box, right?
CRASH said:In that case, you need to fuse everything that was in the fuse box, plus teh fusible links with maxi's. Do you still have the old box so you can see what went in and out of there?
CRASH said:I had a thread about this about 2 weeks back. The consensus was to buy a PDC from an HO model and use this for underhood fusing duties. I took that advice and picked one up. Plenty of slots for relays, and 7 maxi fuse blocks, plus some mini's. The Maxi's are usually 30,40, or 50 amp.

Lincoln said:B.S. There is nothing in there that requires more than 30 amps by itself. Unless they are using that 12 ga wire as a resistor. Still at that they are supplying up to three 12 guages on a single 16.
the fusible links supply many more things than just one component. The red green fusible link supplies the ECU, injector feeds, fuel pump and all the sensors downstream of the ECU.Lincoln said:B.S.

CRASH said:The point of the Maxi's is that they take temperature better than the standard blade fuses, important when using OEM sized wire!

The maxi fuses in the HO PDC were the direct replacements for the fusible links in the renix system, because fusible links suck bawls. Fusible links supplied the entire interior fuse block.
