Classic retrofit fuse box (mini fuses)
 
I just bought one of these from Audette and I don’t think it’s working properly.

Bottom line, the LEDs never light up.

It there a re-set or something that needs to be done to get them to work.

I’ve seen videos where they light up when you turn on the directions or have blown fuses…I get none of that.

The panel is working as everything in the car works.

Help (I have emailed Audette for info, nothing yet).

There is a switch on the fuse panel that you need to move to turn it to ‘test’ mode, I’m assuming you’ve found that though yeah?

Mike - I have not seen the ‘test mode’ switch, where is it?

I don't think the fuseboxes John is selling are the Classic Retrofit ones ?

If it is, in fact, a Classic Retrofit panel, aren't the LEDs fuse *failure* indicators?

If you pull a fuse (emulating a blown fuse / opening the circuit), does the corresponding LED light up?

Yup, red LED above the fuse. Only lights up when the fuse is blown/removed AND you're trying to operate the circuit.

The Audette fuse box has a two-color (red/green) LED below the fuse.
Quote:

Red LED for fuse blown, Green LED for output live, Green LED when fuse removed, and backfeed is present.
Another way to tell is that the two relays are one above the other on the CR fuse box - looks to be two relays side-by-side on the Audette.

In the pic right above, see the bottom left corner, that little red piece next to the bottom post for the left-most fuse is a switch that turns on test mode

Mike - that’s it, now it works.
Thank you.

SFR, you were happy with the installation ? tight fit for multiple cables or everything went smoothly ?

SFR 09-10-2024 10:38 AM

I was happy with the install; yea some of the wires were tight, but overall it was fine.
