Electrical Questions

Hi advice please there are a few spare blanks fuses on the fuse box any idea how to link into them to run some internal electrics ?
Also is there a way to have a power delay on the electric window`s switches as I allway`s forget to close window before taking keys out and on other cars I found there is power going to switch for about 30 seconds after removel of key?

Cheers Gerry

I’ve often thought about the missing fues and utilising them but in all honesty it’s been easier to buy a fuse holder from ebay, I use the type that hold several fuses/circuits and have a tell tale LED.

TBH the "spare" fuse holders are not generally available as the grid underneath the fuse box varies for different models/specs etc. To dismantle the fuse box and alter the original grid is very difficult and you might be exceeding the current load of the grid itself.

Far easier to wire a new fused supply from a point close to the battery or grid connection with a fused relay for extra protection. You can get voltage drop relays that will maintain a supply from a relay for about half a minute, the ones for aftermarket DTRL's do this. Just watch the maximum loading in amps.
