Re: 1987 34W - reRubber Cool White Roof Coat Project

Re: Fuse Block Upgrade

Re: Fuse Block Upgrade

Thanks for the info. However, I am confused about where to attach the positive from battery and the 2 wires (blue and red wires) coming from the converter. There appears to be 2 maybe 3 split blocks (actually 3 but one has a jumper wire going to another one. Just not sure where to put the battery an...
