49 Aux Circuit Breaker Question

edited November -1 in HUDSON
On my conv, there are two circuit breakers mounted on the support bracket under the dash. The wiring diagrams only show one, but I assume the conv and or the comm had two because of the added accessories. I have three questions on these bad boys.



1) How can I test them to make sure they are good?

2.) Can I assume a jumper wire should go from the bat side of the top one to the bat side of the bottom one? (mine were hacked)

3.) Does it matter which accessories go to the top or bottom one or are they the same?



Thanks as always for any input.

    Dennis, I am doing a 48 Comm 8 conv. My car only has one circuit breaker also, I rewired a 51 Hornet conv. about ten years ago and from what I remember the other circuit breaker was for the windows and top electrical system only. If you have the 48-54 "body" shop manual it will show all the wiring diagrams for the convertibles. If you have a continuity tester all you have to do is see if you have continuity between the two terminals. The power comming from the battery goes only to the terminal marked "Bat" All wires that go from the circuit breaker to the accessorie that they are powering go on the terminal marked "Aux"
