Fusible link/ circuit breaker

[hdfx81]

When I first got my bronco the fusible link at the solenoid was bad, I replaced it with a 30amp fuse that has been working fine but I would like to go with a circuit breaker, anyone know what amperage I should use? I don't want to go to high and take the chance of frying my wiring.

Stay with 30amp if your not blowing fuses than its enough. You could step up to 40amp but its up to you. I'd probably just leave the fuse in it easy to check and easy to replace.

You've had good luck with that 30 amp fuse. Realize that if your alternator ever dies, all the current you need to operate ignition, lights, heater, radio, literally everything, is going to be passing through that single 30 amp fuse. I expect it would leave you stranded at that point. You could turn everything off and just run the engine with it but expect it to pop again after you get the alternator changed and charging the weak battery at over 30 amps. Best thing to do is replace it with a proper fusible link.
