[DeTomaso] Blade Style Fuse Panel For Panteras- Source for LED Warning ATO Fuses

Wed Mar 19 14:17:16 EDT 2008

Guys:

Just for future reference, the blade type fuses, that have the LED light that illuminates when the fuse blows, are available from Waytek Wire in all your normal sizes... and some that are MD size... 

Personally, I've found that the fuses, with their "failed LED illumination" are great troubleshooting aids. When something stops working, and I see the "glow" from within the fuse panel cover, it saves me a lot of time, and worry. 

They're located at: http://order.waytekwire.com/CGI-BIN/LANSAWEB?WEBEVENT+L0E3C8A6E62A2820078FB041+M37+ENG

If the link doesn't get you to them, go to www.waytekwire.com, then click on "Products", then in the lower left corner is their "Select a Category", browse to "Fuse Products". Now go to ATO/ATC Fuses. You'll now be at a window of 10 ATO fuses, none of which are the one's we want, the LED fuses. 

Just above the panel that lists the 10 types of fuses, at the right corner, is a "Found 20 items, showing items 1-10. and a right arrow icon. Click on that icon. The next page is the page you want. Look in the item descriptions for "LED". When you see that, you're at THE place. 

If you haven't been to Waytek before, I strongly recommend you get one of their catalogs. Their prices are very good, and their selection is outstanding. I believe you might need some kind of business name to order from them, so make one up. "Bill's Pantera Restoration" works quite well... and use your residential address. 

However, as usual, YMMV, I'm not a paid Waytek employee, a non-paid Waytek shill, or have anything to do with them.... except as a satisfied customer.
