SC54 Res Heat Relay

[MrTango]

Hi Folks,

Should I have a 7.5 amp fuse in the position below marked SC54 Res Heat Relay?
Or to put it another way, what does this fuse please?
Many thanks.

If you haven’t got one then don’t worry about it

Thanks Pauly. I was asking because I took a fuse out to sort out the dash cam wiring and couldn't be sure exactly where it went back.
I know the middle section are all switched live, so I should use one of those for the dash cam. But every fuse box picture I've seen has the 7.5 A fuse in SC54. I started to think the previous owner may have taken it out.

Look for the metal contacts in the empty slots
All spaces will have the metal contact on the feed side but the other side will be empty if no fuse is intended to go there, if there is a metal contact on both sides of the fuse slot then there should be a fuse in it

Got in there with the camera, getting to old to contort my body to see all the way down there...
Looks empty so all good. I took one out of F32 for comparison.
Thanks for the help.

Fuse 32 to the left of it looks like it should be in there though ??

 

[MrTango]

Agreed. I took it out to see the difference between no contact and a contact being present.

Is that fuse tap installed the correct way round?

 

[Pauly]

Good shout, no its not, the cable should be coming out on the left

 

[MrTango]

Oops. So the common is on the opposite side to the cable, just checked the continuity. All done now, although I did need to trim the housing at the top to get the fuse spur to fully seat.
