Michael Prout Posted May 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 Sorry can not show, my panel board I'll try and explain it a black plate with on off switches with black push in connection which pull when tripped push back In pushes back out again blubs OK so I think it might be fuse but can not locate them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are tripping you have a short or other problem somewhere in your wiring. Cannot really be of any more assistance without more details.

Phoenix_V Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 sounds like this, no fuses the circuit breakers do the job with perhaps one very large fuse near the battery https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/12-way-illuminated-mini-switch-circuit-breaker-panel.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above is porbably more likely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above is porbably more likely though. The OP does say (I think) that they 'pop-up' and when he pushes them back in they 'pop-up' again. 15 hours ago, Michael Prout said: .... switches with black push in connection which pull when tripped push back In pushes back out again........

Just goes to show how important it is to give the correct, and full, information at the start of any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko264 Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 But if you are asking about fuse boards and don’t know where it is it may be a good idea to find it for future reference ? Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
