[Healeys] BN2 Wiring Begins

[John Harper]

Michael

A fuse is a good idea but it is better to put a 12V bulb in series. Perhaps
an old 36 watt version. If there is a short the lamp/bulb will light up
fully but nothing is damaged. If there is no actual short the lamp will
just glow less than full brightness if there is something in circuit. The
bulb will also allow one to see when a short is diagnosed by observing the
brightness of the bulb with nothing damaged

Best regards
