I try to use this with a recessed fuse block. For some reasons I seem not to get any contact to the 12 V line supply. What is going on?

You do need two fuses. The one that comes with it and a second one. Also make sure the fuse hasn't blown.

make sure you put in square because one side it hot and the other would be dead without connection. you could but a 12v light on each side to test for a 12v touble shooting light is cheap.

Make sure you got correct size .you can't use a low profile in a regular socket..but you can usually use a regular (ato?) In a low profile socket.. Though it will stand out a bit more from the others..if space is a problem.

Make sure you do not have it inserted in the neutral prong of the receptacle or it will not show voltage. You should always test it on something you know is hot first to make sure It is working before you rely on it

I could be wrong but if you tap a 25A fuse then the wire on this unit may not be able to handle it. Plus, if you put 10A fuses in the Bussman then those fuses will blow constantly since your 25A fuse is letting higher amperage through.

William, First I would check the ground connection, if you still have a problem I think I would temporarily by-pass the switch.I have not had any problem with the one we purchased , really pleased with it. I have had a fuse that looks good visually have a loose connection inside and cause a problem. Good Luck .

To be perfectly honest with you, if you aren't sure about wiring, maybe this isn't the right product for you. It will mean using trim tools and splicing to a found 12v wire. If you want to press forward, the red goes to a switched +12vdc source, and the black goes to a chassis ground point.Good luck.

tough question sight un seen but sounds like your attaching the load wire to same termination bracket. also the outlet may be defective. If it is doing it on more than just one then it is the attachment location that is wrong.

Keep the inline fuses. That's the way the engineers designed them. Your battery box fuses are fine to use in conjunction.

If you have a 40 amp circuit breaker that could be the problem. My instructions said to use a 60 amp circuit breaker. I hope this helps.

The fuse block can handle the voltage, but the fuses will be up to you to find. This fuse box should be used indoors or in a protected area, not exposed directly to the elements.

The answer from Thomas D. is right on and the only comment I would add, is make sure you have you on off switch in between you 12 volt supple hook up.

That shouldn't happen. Maybe the load resistors are too much. Try upping the fuses that are blowing

I just used a 12v adapter I had lying around. I cut the end off and used a multimeter to make sure the polarity was correct and hooked it to the board. Please, do be careful about the where you put the positive and negative. I remember reading on the net that this device won't protect itself from reverse polarity on the dc voltage. Meaning, the circuit board will be ruined.

Hi - I bought this fuse block last summer thinking I could use it as an aux. fuseblock for my digital gauges that I installed in a 70 Chevelle. There is NO single connection to a Power Source for this unit. Each individual fuse has to have a Constant Power or Power with Key On Source. That is the reason I did not use it. I spent a little more and got one with a single connection to power (Battery) with a signal "turn on" wire routed to the existing fuse block in the car. It also has 4 connections for Key On Power and 3 for Constant Power. It works a lot better for me.

I'm not sure about your model. I picked my fuse based on a youtube video showing how to repair the on/off switch. I would try that avenue to confirm it should work. Good luck!

I would think that APC might prevent it, as it controls the amount of amperage/electricity going to your sub. On the other hand if you sub has any internal issues it might blow the fuse as well. Did any other items get damaged or blown at the same time, if not then I would think your APC is ok and your sub is the issue.. Call APC 1-800 tech advice and pose the ?

My box has a circuit breaker. I added a 50amp in-line fuse with a battery disconnect switch.

I didn't use a fuse block I went straight to the battery. I used the wire that came with the winch and have had no problems.
