Tech Tip #5 Select-a-Circuit Fuses
Select-a-Circuit™ Fuses
Ron Francis Wiring first patented the idea of "Select-A-Circuit"™ Fuses in 1996 with the Advantage panel which had 3 Select-A-Circuits. The newer EXPRESS™ and BARE BONZ™ models have them in a much more convenient pattern. The EXPRESS™ has 4, the BARE BONZ™ has 2 and the Access 24/7™ has 4 Select-A-Circuit™ fuses.
The idea it that to 'select' which circuit will control the fuse, you need only pull the fuse from the slot and re-insert it over one notch to make the change. This is especially helpful for someone who might want their power windows on the ignition for safety reasons where a friend might want his to be on battery so he could use a remote to lower his windows for access to the car w/o door handles. The wire itself stays on the same terminal on the fuse block terminal strip which would be marked for P/Ws but the power to the fuse would change.
Since there are 4 of these fuses, no longer do you 'splice' into or over load some other circuit to get the power you need and want. Safety and convenience as all RFW products consider. We make the product work right first and test throughly before you see it on your dealers shelf.
The Select-A-Circuits™ are available under many part numbers of the BARE BONZ™ and EXPRESS™ wiring systems. The Wiring is custom made for GM, Ford and Mopar. We do not use an old GM fuse block and call it revolutionary. Wiring can be a chore or fun and where you actually learn something. Remember No MORE SPAGHETTI!
