Under the dash I.D. question.

[Deleted User]

This is looking in from the dash instrument gauge area. Would someone please tell me what this is by my finger in the photo? With the wiring diagram that I have, from what I can tell it looks like a circuit breaker or relay? Is it possible to bypass this being that I'm using a 12 fuse circuit block with my new wiring harness? Thank you! and a huge thank you to all of you that have helped me so far!

The item with the two studs is a circuit breaker. But it looks like there are two of them. Is this a convertible? In any case, yes, you can bypass them, but if replacing with a fuse block, you're losing the "automatic reset" feature of the circuit breaker, which may be important for certain items.

Thank you for the response, that is a huge help and no, this is not a convertible. Thanks again!

The reason they used a circuit breaker on for instance the headlights .Would be if it tripped off while driving at night just about the time you skidded to a stop because you cant see it would kick back on. A fuse wont do that,

i would guess the second is the turn signal flasher

The way it looks to me, it is a circuit breaker and yes you can bypass it but i wouldn't because
it clooks like one is for the headlights and the other is for the turn signals. i hpoe this helps
