Guys,
Was pinged recently by a shop working on a car that had been stripped out in terms of wiring harness....and fuse panel. Fuse panel was MIA....
The solutions posed amounted to using/adapting a new modern Pantera Electronics style Pantera block or same to an old Pantera version.....and of course waiting for an original to surface..... While the Pantera Electronics option could seem more logical, it does lack the ability to use the original cover or something similar to replicate "the look" when viewed. Also, the wiring would need to be translated from "Goose" to Pantera.....or vice-versa.
While I was rooting around in my parts looking for a Pantera AC fan switch, I ran across a very nice Pantera fuse block.....which got me to thinking...... How close would the Pantera version actually be to the original Goose version!???
Well, first and most obvious is that all the connections on the P-version come and go from one side and that there are three levels of connectors! The Goose version has connections on both sides and only one level IIRC...... not sure if it's an in-out side for side thing or mixed......
What I do not know, is the logical actual physical schematic of the fuse panel on either car. You can see where there are many connections that are single, twin, or triple connections....and some that you don't see......that would need to be chased out with an ohm meter......
SO, my question to all is: Does anyone have a GOose fuse block that would be "loan-able" or borrowed in order to create a physical drawing for a Goose block?????
With that, and a similar drawing for a Pantera block, we could start to understand if or how much work is needed to provide a solution to folks that may need a new fuse block!
I can see no markings on the Pantera block to indicate manufacturer, and admit that I didn't look for it yet in the parts book..... wondering if there is any small chance it was "borrowed" from some other Italian ride.....like so many parts were.......
Cheers!!!
Steve
Goose version:
EDIT 7/26/22 Due to "my bad!" Too excited..... Sorry about any confusion this may have caused! Steve
LH PIC IS A GOOSE "COVER" !
RH is a Maserati Cover & Block!! Differences: 1) Maserati logo in upper LH corner! 2) Spade connections on both sides of block- Pic's further down show Goose block with all on same side, similar to Pantera. 3) Goose has a 13th reference on the label at the very bottom for "frenoluce" (Brake Lights?) which is missing from RH Maserati label. Fuel pump fuse is obviously NOT used by most Mangustas........so we're back to 12 fuse positions......although the order may not exactly line up with label???? (Where did they put that brake lamp fuse? ...is unclear)
