Fuses in my Zetec S4
Posted: Fri Jan 21, 2011 8:20 am
Not liking the look of spider webs of wiring in the engine bay I've attempted to place as much as I can out of view.
The car is wired to modern standards with fuses for all circuits & relays for a lot of them.
I managed to source a row of fuse holders & some mini relays as used on some Bikes.
Somewhat similar to modern cars, I chose to place the fuses in the glove box & hang the relays off the back of it where possible.
In order to do this the glove box needs to be a bit shallower & stronger to support the weight of the wiring hanging off it.
I copied the original cardboard glove box & fabricated the new shallower one in sheet aluminium.
The interior was then lined with leather & then the fuse holder fitted.
Please note that not all of the fuses shown in the photo are connected to circuits, some are just "spares"
Hope that helps
