I had the original neutral safety switch stop working at a camp ground. I picked up a new one . Was made in China. Tried it a couple of times after installing it. Perfect.Two days later we went to leave. Turned the key. No action. Except for all the smoke coming from the right front. The new switch from China shorted out internally. Thank you fusible for saving our GMC. Bought a GM switch. Bob Dunahugh

But it burns. ( GRIN.) Sure was a SHOCK when ours burned. I know that the insulation is different in someway. So is the wire material different then standard copper wire? For those that don't know what/were it is. From what I think I know. ALL 12 volt power for the vehicle. All lights including head lights ,starter solenoid, ( heater blower motor except high, A/C compressor, radio, and your ride height compressors. NOTE. Not the house 12 volt system. } Has to be delivered from the battery by way of this 16 gauge wire. A fusible link. In this system. Is to be two wire gauge sizes smaller then the largest wire in the system. As 10 gauge wire is our largest. Battery cables aren't included here. The link is about 6 inches long. And goes from the main 12 volt terminal. To a large terminal on the bottom of the horn relay. So. Is that wire just copper? Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale
