Not exactly the same,
I bought them at Murray's, which is now O Reilly, about 6 yrs ago.
I will try to find a part number/ manufacturer tomorrow.





Sthemi, did you find the part number or the manufacturer?
Thanks

I would like to buy this kind of adaptor to replace all glass tube fuses, do you know where I could buy them. Thanks





are you trying to change them for availability in Europe or for another reason ?

availability in Europe, maybe not in car parts stores, but YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND THEM at electronic shops ( kinda radioshack, or electronic parts shops where you buy integrated circuits, transistors etc... ). LOT OF Electrical devices use the same car units... big glass ones. I know mostly european electrical devices uses small ones, but still lot more use the big glass ones

These glass tube fuses are difficult to change, you can break them by removing from the fuse box and you know it is always in the night or when it's raining that you have to remove it. . So it's easier with this adapter.

Very old post but I found this adapter for blade fuse.
It's very expensive now but easier to change fuse after you put this adapter.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Seems like a nice upgrade, but how often do you need to replace a fuse?

Depends on how often you are in the bad part of town, at night, with it raining buckets and dead batteries in your flashlight. wink

Well if it's night and you don't have a flashlight, your not changing that ATM fuse either.....

On a side note, I wonder why they only specify it for GM?

If you have the ATM fuse that lights up when it blows you could (built in LED).

So which would be better, the breaker style or the blade adapter style?

If you’re constantly changing blown fuses, breaker style.
I’d prefer the mini blade adapter, but can’t find those, might be discontinued?

Just remember you are still using your "OLD" fuseblock . . . and are adding another "connection" point with the blade style fuses . . . there is nothing wrong with glass fuses . . . what you need is the "magic" spare fuses in the glove box - you have them there, you will NEVER have a fuse go !! LOL . . . once you take them out of the car, LOOK out !!! heh heh heh . . . best solution is to change out the fuseblock panel for blade style fuses, but that is more work and money . . . .

if you are constantly blowing fuses, i would look into just WHY the fuses are constantly blowing, before the "magic smoke" escapes from the harness just before the flames appear !

iagree Electronics 101A teaches you that every connection is a potential problem. Avoid them when possible beer

X2 . . . fuses are in circuit to protect for overload and short circuit . . . typically in our cars, it is usually a short circuit that creates the problem ! (hot wire against ground) . . . fix the problem and don't blame the fuse !
