So been having an issue with my fuel wiring the past few summers, 3/4 through an all day run the jeep would start running really rough. Real similar to vapor lock. Finally chased it down to the fuel pump not getting constant power after running for several hours. Started working back through the system and think I found a bad relay so replaced them with new units.
Working on it a bit more tonight and found a fuse that must have shorted and blew. In looking at the fuse block I'm tempted to replace it with a unit that have the bigger Jcase fuses.
This is the existing fuse block:
I lost the cover so they are exposed to the elements, could stick in in a bag or similar but considering replacing it with this:
The are a couple issues:
#1 - I'm going from 4 fuses to 2. 2 of the fuses are 15 amp and the other 2 are both 10 amp. So it seems like I could consilate the 2 sets into a 10 amp side and a 15 amp side. All are 12v and the current draw should be fine with the JCase fuses
#2 - the biggest issue I think - All of the fuses are current hot on one side other then the Coil & ICM. So what am I going to screw up by putting the Coil and ICM on a constant hot fuse connection?
Well they would be hot when I flip the switch to power up the Jeep.
