IML: what is a "circuitbreaker" exactly..

["Rob van der Es" <r.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all Imperialists out there,

Just another question from a Dutch Imperial owner:)
I am sorting out some minor electrical issues on my 1960 Imperial.

I am repairing my power antenna motor at the moment and I must admit that
I have made a short circuit from the middle wire (pink) on the antenna
switch to ground...

There was a little spark and after that the wire doesn't carry 12V anymore..
Ofcourse I can take another 12V line from the fusebox, but I want to keep
this as much original as possible.
So I want my 12 V at the middle connection of the antenna switch at the
pink wire.

from the FSM I understand that the power for the antenna motor isn't
coming from the fuse box, so it isn't fuse protected.
Instead of that a circuitbreaker is used, can anyone explane the following
to me:

a) how does a circuit breaker works ?
b) can you "reset" a circuit breaker or must it be replaced?
c) where is the circuit breaker located in a 1960 Imperial (4 door HT)

Thanks in advance,

Robert van der Es
