omega_rugal Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 i was wondering if i could cut the old fuse links in the MJ and put regular fuses in their place, if so, how many amps? the web says red/brown fue links = 30 amps, is that correct? i have a feeling that those are also $#!&ting on me...

DirtyComanche Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 You can. I'd size the fuses according to the wire gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big66440 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I'd be interested in doing the same thing, I searched on line a while back and found a guy that swapped that birds nest with a newer style ( XJ ) fuse box but didn't give info on what amp fuse he used for what circuit.

Gene Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi everyone, I think you have to be a little careful doing this... I believe a fusible link is very "slow-blow" so a similar fuse (same amperage) will blow much more quickly. In other words, a 40 amp fuse run at 50 amps will blow fairly quickly. A 40 amp fusible link will take quite a bit longer to burn up. So be prepared to replace more fuses than fusible links! Gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
