Default Fuse question

I saw this in another post and wanted to ask if someone knows what kind of fuse item #4 is. (As the book say's Breaker ASM) I currently have a glass fuse in my fuse block.

So that should be the same as my glass 30 amp fuse? Wonder why Chevy only did that one with the hard shell case.

No, the 30 amp fuse will blow if overloaded, no lights. The 30 amp circuit breaker will reset after it cools down, lights will come back on..

Your local parts store should be able to get one for you.. And from that AIM page-- that breaker is for the power windows. The headlight breaker is built into the headlight switch..

75 vette - Do you think that would cause my power windows not to work using a glass fuse instead of the breaker. Both windows will not work - Both windows Motors are good already tested them.

Thanks

It is hard to say becasue you might have dirty terminals in your fuse panel so even though you install a fuse or circuit breaker...UNLESS you go in and check the TERMINALS to make sure they have power on them with a voltmeter...there is no way in telling if you are gettign 12 volts to the RELAY.

SO....even though you get the correct circuit breaker...you still ahve a relay that is used to make your window motors work.
