Not Ranked
My car is atypical in that it was built as a dedicated race car. The original builder installed switch type circuit breakers from a WW II aircraft (a B-29 I was told). So, for example, the toggle switch for the electric fuel pump has the circuit breaker for that system built in. If the circuit breaks, the toggle on the switch drops down to the mid position. It is reset by moving the toggle to off and then back to on. If the breaker is too hot to reset, the driver can override the break by holding the switch in the on position. I assume this was done to allow the driver to complete the final lap of a race at the expense of his equipment and safety.
This choice does limit the look of your switches, but it makes the wiring simplicity itself. There are no hidden fuses or circuit breakers. I've driven my car like this for almost ten years with no problems.
