[DML] Re: 15 Amp Fuse?

["thebrave65" <johnnysher1@xxxxxxx>]

Very cool and thanx a bunch to all for the help.  I understand how 
they work now and I feel much better about replacing all of the 
fuses.  I figured that one fuse was suspect and so decided to ask the 
rest of the DeLorean community about it.  My fuse box is now loaded 
with the proper amperage fuses according to the factory specs.

Thanx again to all of you.  This forum is truly a blessing.

 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.
