Hi Guys
I have a problem that is really bugging me and your help is needed.
I have an Autocruise Starblazer 2005. Recently I was having problems with a faulty electrical item and the fuses kept blowing.
Now normally this is a simple take off fuse holder cap, take out blown fuse, replace fuse, put fuse holder cap back on. BINGO!!
No such joy. The fuses need jiggling about until they catch the bayonet fitting which takes ages, the fuse caps need to be taken off with a screwdriver and break easily and you have to make sure they don't pop out when moved aaagghhhh!!! (See pictures)
It is soul destroying when you see other peoples vans electrics with nice screw fitting fuse holders that are easily available and cheap to buy.
Autocruise in their wisdom fitted non standard fuse holders and to buy replacement caps is near enough impossible.
They are apparently from an American company SCHURTER part number 0031.1661
Thought I would buy 10 then have some in reserve, but before I commit myself to paying an arm and a leg, I thought you guys might be able to help first.
Has anyone had this experience before and where did you get the parts from?
Ebay sell some £30 for 10.
They are cheap and easy to get hold of if you live in USA 78 cents cheapest but they don't do international shipping.
Thanks in advance
Gary
