MEGA FUSE - VIBRATION CAUSES MEGA FUSE TO OPEN - AMBULANCE CONVERSIONS WITH 7.3L DIT ONLY
LIGHT TRUCK:
1995-96 E-350
ISSUE:
Ambulance conversion companies modify the electrical distribution system in E-350 vehicles with 7.3L DIT engines. These modifications to the original
equipment wiring in the area of the Mega Fuse may decrease the strain relief which results in vibration of the Mega Fuse. This vibration may lead to
breakage of the fuse at the point of highest stress.
ACTION:
Replace the Mega Fuse (Figure 1) with a shunt. The shunt should reduce the possibility of fuse breakage caused by vibration. Refer to the following text
for details.
Contact the original conversion company to discuss the replacement of the Mega Fuse. If the original conversion company approves of the replacement,
remove the Mega Fuse and replace it with a shunt. Torque the Mega Fuse holder to 12-18 N-m (9-13 lb-ft).
