No more fuses blowing. I kept the auto-reset breakers just in case but I never even opened the packages.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304483910572653859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684651866018493381.post-6410467197906182862013-07-22T12:48:27.047-05:002013-07-22T12:48:27.047-05:00One trick I use to avoid wasting fuses while worki...One trick I use to avoid wasting fuses while working on problems like this is to buy a dual element tail light. The kind where the wires coming out of the bulb are about 1/2" long. Twist the two wires on each side together so the elements are in parallel, then crimp them into 1/4" spade lugs that fit into the fuse sockets. The bulb will burn brightly when the short shows up. Makes it much easier to trace a short. If there's no short, the bulb will burn dimly and so will any bulbs downstream.Jim@HiTekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06456783046446469655noreply@blogger.com
