I've got a developing situation with my '75 bus. One of the fuses on the little string of fuses that hangs out under the dash just behind the steering column -- a holder with about 20 fuses or so -- keeps burning out... as in, at this point every day or two and, it would seem, with increasing frequency. It's the one that keeps several things 'electrified' ... the turn-indicators, the gas-gauge, and other things. When it goes out the battery light comes on ... so I'm assuming that the battery suddenly is NOT being allowed to receive a charge as well. Obviously it's an important fuse. My question: IS THIS INDICATIVE OF SOMETHING ELSE ... LIKE A BAD ALTERNATOR OR GENERATOR OR ???? Any suggestions of how to proceed with this?
Thanks!
Terry ((btw -- this bus has a '78 2L FI engine in it ... thought there MIGHT be enough of a difference between this and the slightly smaller engine that it came with to have some relevence to the electrical problem.))
