Hi all,

I have a 1992  "A" class Laika 57S and I found the wire from the battery to the habitation 12V. supply has a black box with a 50 amp cut out fuse in line on opening it I found it to be bown its just a flat strip type bolted at each end.O the cover is the logo MTA on it,think its ITALIAN make.Can I get a replacement stip easly or can I put in a new  uk type in its place. I have seen them in early cars to protect parts of the cars electrics.Thanks tor reading.

Rod

hi Rod not ure if you will get a replacement fuse but if it just screws in why not use fuse wire to equivelent loading? do you know what caused it to blow as that will require fixing first

is this what you have? The fuses sometimes blow when the liesure battery is alowed to go quite flat. The initial high charging current blows the fuse. Another cause is if the starter battery has been fully charged Then the relay connecting the leisure battery opens and the leisure battery is powering the starter, which has a high current deaw.
