Sorry, bartamos.
The fuse locations in the first photo that I posted (and, misinterpreted) are clearly visible.
Thanks for the clearer picture, jorb. I had not tried to blow-up my link's photo
, no fuses are visible, BUT the fuse holders are very clearly visible.
So,
- no 47-551st light switches had a fuse; and,
- all 55-2nd-59 light switches had 2 fuses?
larrygk has probably left the house, but none of this 55-59 discussion changes the fact that his 1954 light switch's circuits are indeed protected by an automatically-resetting circuit breaker build into the switch.
Tim, no sorry needed. I think you thought you were wrong when you were right.
Don't see any pics with empty fuse holder?
2 fuses?= one visible and one breaker?
Summary, again, from the manuals:
47-55.1: old style metal switch, 6V, built in protection. No actual fuse.
55.2: new phenolic barrier design, 12V, built in protection. No actual fuse.
56-59 Chevy: new phenolic barrier design, 12V, built in protection. 4amp additional visible fuse.
55-59 GMC: Maintenance Manual shows the Chevy 56-59 style and design.
Built in protection= Built-In Automatic Thermal Circuit Breaker (various amps depending on year)
This device would "automatically" reset and would also function intermittently to maintain vehicle operation, if possible. 42 AMP breaker? WOW!
This fuse has become too much of an issue, probably caused by me. It's a tiny 4 amp glass fuse they decided they needed for the dash light/dimmer circuit probably because the thermal breaker device was not covering it since it was a small variable load.
Larry, let us know how it all turns out. Thanks
