I got back home and found that the #5 fuse had blown again. Why would this keep happening? The DeLorean is my daily driver. It's also the only car I have in California. Is the car safe to drive, or is this a symptom of a deeper electrical problem that could affect other circuits? -Christian PS. Has anyone ever had their car run for a whole week without breaking?
