Re: [DML] 15 Amp Fuse?

[Andrew Prentis <aprentis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Johnny,
Yes it does matter.If the curcuit needs a 10 amp fuse
(which it does according to my owners manual) then put
it in.If you have a fuse that is rated higher,say a 15
amp in a 10 amp circuit,too much current will flow
through the curcuit potentially damaging it.The fuse
is there to protect the curcuit.If more than the rated
current tries to go through the fuse will blow opening
the curcuit to stop the flow.This protects what goes
after the fuse.If the fuse is rated too high it won't
blow at the right time allowing to much current
through the curcuit.So make sure all fuses are the
right size.While you're in there clean the fuse and
relay sockets with contact cleaner.
