[Rhodes22-list] Motor Lift Wiring Question

[Lowe, Rob]

OK, an automotive breaker.  I see my local auto parts store sells something close for $4. - rob

Breakers are listed with Amperage also so that you know how many amps the circuit can handle before the breaker will trip.  That one is an old school 12v 40A breaker that creates an open (stops conducting) when the conductor inside reaches a certain temperature and then is supposed to reset itself when it has time to cool down.  It is very possible that the dielectric inside has corroded and no longer functions correctly. 

Here is one you can use to replace it.

The shipping might actually cost as much as the breaker itself.

If it says 40A, it's a fuse.  Fuses are rated in amperage (A) and specifies the amount of current that can pass through before the fuse blows.  I don't recognize the part, put I expect something like this might suffice.  If the fuse is blown, your switch and motor lift will not work. - rob

Thanks James & Rob

I'm guessing it may be a circuit breaker or fuse.  All I can see through the rust is 40 A

Here's a photo.
