Circuit Breakers

Post by Sal »

Does any one know how the circuit breaker in these trucks work ? There's no reset on it.. Does it reset it self or is it like a fuse once it trips it has to be replaced ? :?

It should reset itself. I believe it is a thermal type. It gets hot from a short and then cools and resets. Before my new harness mine tripped all the time. :D
When it is cold it should have continuity or pass current. If it is open when cold it is a bad breaker.

You can still buy these brand new in both auto and manual resetting.
