If you pull the dash panel forward (remove the hot wire from the battery first, and then the speedometer cable), you can take off the circuit breaker easily and take it to NAPA for a replacement. Just keep in mind that the new one will be marked "BAT" which is for a negative ground, so just install it backwards. It will also be marked 12 volt, but circuit breakers don't care what the voltage is. The Napa number is 30055-10 and they cost $6.29. Easy to swap out.


I am about fed up with the NAPA stores around here (Minneapolis/St. Paul). After someone finally paid attention to me at the counter-- two guys walked right past me, somebody finally deigned to look at my PN.

He said he could have it by Saturday (this was Thursday evening) and I said that sounded all right and should I leave my name. Then he said, You'll have to pay for it now because there's a $5 shipping charge.

I asked why, didn't any NAPA stores in town have one. He said, No, it has to be ordered from our warehouse in Wisconsin.

I said I would see if I could do better.

I bet I can. What happened to NAPA? Are they ignoring regular customers and just relying on trade around town with shops that order parts?
