LED blade fuse

I`m guessing that I am most likely one of the few that have not seen these yet. I`m impressed any way. Great idea, no more looking at most of your fuses to find the blown one.

Got them in the vehicles here..

Great idea and makes life easy!

[bee utey]

Kinky! I'd be blowing then just to see what they look like...:eek: perhaps reuse them as interior lights when they're blown? :)

Maybe I'll just stick to labelling the fuses....;)

[Davo]

I've never heard of them - thanks for the tip.

[towe0609]

I hadn't seen them before, great idea ....

[BMKal]

I haven't seen these before either .............. thanks.

I have been using the trailer connectors with LED circuit test for ages - the socket on the D2 is one of these, as are the plugs on both my trailers. Haven't fitted one to the D4 yet though.

Also a great idea - allows you to tell if the fault is in the vehicle, the connection or the trailer straight away if a globe on the trailer is not working as it should be.

They have been around for years and used to be readily available, however they never really caught on due to pricing.

Truth is you can get prewired 12V flashing multicolour LEDs you can wire across the fuse holders permanently or temporarily for less cost than those fuses, just look on ebay...

After reading this post got an assorted box of the led fuses from Jaycar.
I was fascinated how they would work.
I intentionaly blew a 5A to see what would happen. The LED lit up but only when the fault was present. The circuit needs to remain, although it it would be drawing minimal current. These would be no good for an intermittent fault
By the way the are not polarity sensitive as there are actually two diodes in the circuit so one will work either way you insert the fuse.

Can I use these with SWMBO so I know when she's blown a fuse? :wasntme:

There are generally pre-installed audible alarms for those.
You know somethings wrong when they go silent :angel:

Oh how true this is Muppet!

It's a bit like the old landy adage that you only really need to start worrying when it STOPS leaking oil:
when swmbo isn't talking then I really know I'm in the poo :eek:

Narva make a resettable circuit breaker that replaces blade fuses.
I had them in my sierra but shudder to think how much kitting out the disco with them would cost.
