    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Question on fuse box type

My '77 GS550 is fitted with only one single inline fuse, I am in the process of replacing this system with a multiple fuse setup. I have come across some fuse block types that have 5 or 6 fuses on them, but also have the "+" and "-" marks on one end of the unit.

Can someone explain to me this setup and reasoning behind this. I am only familiar with the "positive" side of things running through the fuse box/block. This setup seems to have the ground running through there as well.

Please explain? Do I need to run the ground wire through my fusebox or just the "+tive" connections. I will be following the later GS wiring diagrams.

That + / - connection at the bottom is supposed to be an "auxillary" connection. It runs on one of the fuses in the box. I guess you use ring connectors to connect to it.
