R9 OD fuse question
#1
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk

My '47 Clipper had most of the overdrive wiring removed or clipped, and I am putting it back into to service with new/retro wiring from Narragansett Wiring.

I haven't been able to find answers to these question in any of the service manuals or wiring diagrams.

- Does anyone know the rating of the main fuse for the R9 overdrive system ?

- On the OD indicator light on the speedometer, is there supposed to be just one lead wire, and one wire going to a common ground on the dash ?

Thanks, as always, for your assistance !

Best regards,

It's a 30 amp fuse but not shown on this schematic. It is shown on the 48 R9 schematics. It's also a good idea to see if you can find the pieces to add the reverse safety switch per Service Counselor Vol21 #15 if yours doesn't have it.

There are two wires to the bulb and it should be in an isolated or independent socket. One wire from terminal 4 of OD relay for power when OD is on and prepped and the other wire to terminal 7 of solenoid for the contact that opens the ground side and cuts the light when it actually goes into OD. If there is not a provision for two leads, perhaps someone substituted an ordinary dash illumination lamp socket.
