Electrical Issues Can Be Alarming!​



Electrical diagnosis can be frustrating when fuses blow repeatedly and at unusual times. One aid to this problem is to simply know the exact moment the fuse blows, which can assist greatly in chasing down the cause.

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to keep an eye on the fuse box while driving, but a solution exists.

If a 12-volt buzzer is installed (these are readily available from electrical supply chains) It can be wired in on each side of the fuse. Then, at the moment the fuse blows, the buzzer will sound.

Hey @Jerry Bransford, think we could come up with a fuse box that will alarm your cell phone via blue tooth? You know for those young techie's coming into jeeping...
You need to design one that can call the cell phone with a recorded message. Don't leave Zorba out of the technological-advancement loop.

That would be fine, as long as you include a small electric motor to spin the hand crank! ;)
