What is this "splitter" called or what can I get to replace it with? Where would be a place to buy one? One of the wires(AC) has pulled out and don't think I can put it back in correctly/safely. I am not ready to replace/improve the fusable links but that's on my list!
Thanks!

 

I have heard people call that the "duck's foot" for the fusable links.

I not sure if the dealership has another name, but that is what I call them around here.

Several threads on here about installing various fuse boxes and the like to re-wire it.

 

That's what many call it. But when I try to search for that (ducksfoot etc.) I cannot see any electrical connectors that would do the same thing...bringing 5 lead wires out of one power line/source. Oliver you don't have a original one you can cut off for me and sell to me at a reasonable price??

 

If I can locate a ruined harness with a good ducks foot, I would let myself cut one out.
Otherwise I would never let myself cut out one from a good harness, as it would totally ruin it. I would not be able to sleep for weeks...Haha

If I get a chance later tonight I will see what I can dig up in the shop.

 

I think Dodge called them a multi connector. Good luck finding that part. If one wire has pulled/corroded out the rest aren't far behind. I wouldn't waste the time trying to find one. I would cut the larger wire off the back and the smaller wires off the front then wire them into a terminal block or insulated post terminal. That way when you go to put actual fuses in it won't e as big a job. Those duck foot terminals are an unreliable PITA. Having said that I might have one if Ollie doesn't and you have your heart set on it.

 

Tim good to see you around here posting a little more often.

Bummed to not make to Carlisle this weekend, as I always look forward to having a few beers with you and checking out everything that is Mopar at the show.

 

Thank you Oliver and Tim. I am just trying to get it working then I will tackle the whole wiring and fuse situation down the road. Does anyone have suggestions of specific terminal blocks to use?

 

You can buy specific sized fusible links to splice in for a quick fix.

I plan to replace mine with a fuse box one of these days. Tired of fighting with all my wiring issues.

 

Hi Ollie, I'm going to try to be a bit more present on DTR. Today was a good day at the show. Weather was fairly cool and not a ton of people. The truck/Ramcharger classes were pretty full though. Bummed you guys couldn't make it.

 

Hi Elway12. Something like this on Amazon:

Hilitchi 12pcs 600V 15A 5 Position Double Row Screw Terminal Strip and 400V 10A 12 Postions Red/Black Pre Insulated

Copy and paste into Amazon search. I can't remember if we're allowed to post links.

 

Would this work mini bus work to replace the Duck foot? I'm no electrician and want make sure nothing trips any fuses and the like.

Thanks

 

That's not a good choice because the fusible links you're removing ARE the fuses. A bus bar does not have fuses so if you use that your circuits will be unfused and dangerous.

 

Yep! That looks like just the ticket. It will make it easier to do the maxi fuse conversion later if you go that route.

 

I hope it is. I am not replacing the fusable links just the ducks foot. I plan on doing it in a few days and will update then. My biggest concern is that the minibus can handle what ever power goes thru it from those 4 wires/lines.
