Circuit breaker for a power top.

I’m surprised they are not seen in commercial vehicles in Europe. Very typical vehicle circuit breakers here in North America. They are automatic resetting. Just like the ones used in headlamp switches. 

Heater blower resistor pack. They place them here to cool them. I know, hot air is used to cool, but some nice they glow red in use, the hot air from the engine is actually cooler.
