FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKER
The wiring circuits in your 1968 Corvair are pro
tected from short ci~cuits by a combination of fuses,
circuit
breakers, and fuseable thermal links in the wiring
itself. This greatly reduces the hazard of electrically
caused fires in the automobile.
A circuit breaker in the light control switch protects
the headlamp circuit, thus eliminating one fuse. Where
current lo.ad is too heavy, the circuit breaker intermittently
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the cause
is found and eliminated.
Fusible links are incorporated into the wiring system.
These
are wires of such a gauge that they will fuse (or
melt) before damage occurs to an entire wiring harness
in the event of an electrical overload. See your Chevrolet
Dealer if fusible link replacement becomes necssary.
Fuses,
located in the junction block beneath the
dash are:
1. Radio .
