1972 fuses

[Jerome P.]

Does anyone know the color coding for the fuses in the fuses box or were I could find this info?

Also, does anyone still sell the color coded fuses?

Jerome, The fuse colors for your 72 , Red= 10AMP, White= 25AMP. The small dash lite fuse is brown=3AMP?, Clear= 20amp. hope thats right I am doing this from memory.

I think that member Pete Lindali sells color coded fuses.

Re: 1972 fuses

I am pretty sure that super secret color code (I think the 3 amp = purple, but check to be sure because I too am working from memory) is in the 1970-72 TIM&JG, but don't tell any one or the secret will be out.

Re: 1972 fuses

Your chart is great.

The TIM&JG could maybe be use some of this info to enhance the info already found therein.

(I think the 3 amp = purple)

You're such a clod, it's violet, not purple.

I can get Zoe to introduce you to some people who care about that difference, if you want to change your luck.

The problem with putting too much information in the manual is worse than having not enough information. If we put that list in I could forward to you all the questions from people who would want ALL those pretty colors in their fuse panel. Trust me, I have been there; and recently too.

I understand, but the operative words are "some of the info" i.e. color = ampere. Not just a couple, but all applicable fuses with associated color and amperage.

The manual is well done and team that put it together did a great job.

Re: 1972 fuses

Keep in mind that there were two suppliers of fuses each with their own interpretation of the specified colors, as well as different methods of color application.

Re: 1972 fuses

Bill, Do you have the suppliers names, websites, etc?

Re: 1972 fuses

Buss and littlefuse were our only sources. I do know each had a different process for applying the colors, resulting a slightly different appearance, but both were used interchangibly

I hate to spoil things for the color sensitive folks who posted earlier. My 71 does not have a 3 AMP fuse. It has a 5 AMP for the instrument lights. Is there a special color for 5 AMP fuses.????
