Re: Junction block

Looks like it had a fusible link on it at one time.

You should put it back the same way. NOT with a fuse; that will introduce more points of potential failure.

A fusible link should be about 3 - 4 gauges smaller than the wire it protects. That's really what it's there for, is to protect the wire. That wire looks like 10 or 12 gauge; the metric sizes are 5mm and 3mm respectively. If it's 10 gauge or 5mm, the correct FL will be colored "rust" (this is the most common); if it's 12 gauge or 3mm the FL needs to be light blue.

Re: Junction block

Go to the parts store and look in the Electrical section. Look at the red wire it goes on first and find its size, so you know which color/size FL to get.
