Waterproof underhood fuses??
On a '92, I know of two places that use an in-line waterproof underhood fuse -- both in the well in front of the left front wheel.
1) 10 amp fuse for the underhood lights
2) 25 amp fuse for the AIR (Smog) blower motor -- mounted on the side of the motor.
These fuses plug into a "WeatherPack" socket and have a rubber seal to keep out moisture.
I want to make one of these, so I need a socket and a 15 amp fuse -- this is for my non-standard Delteq install -- I don't do anything the normal way.
The socket I can get from GM (but, I'd rather find it cheaper elsewhere), but I don't know where to get a 15 amp fuse to plug into it.
Where can I get the socket and fuses?

For my Mez WP, I needed a weather proof fuse. I actually found a good one at pep-boys. It is an inline fuse, with a nice, thick gauge wire, and a water proof, rubber "box" that a standard automotive fuse drops in.

Thanks, I just found what sounds like the same thing at the local Chevy dealer -- the parts department gave me two of them.
I looked at the local Pep-boys, Advance, and Autozone, and they didn't have any that were waterproof.
The ones I got from the Chevy dealer have a rubber box with a rubber lid that snaps over a standard mini-fuse.
This works perfect -- already have it in place.
