Re: [doc] Fuse ratings - any recommended changes??



Thanks for the feedback. I'll replace it with a 15 amp as before and keep spare fuses inthe glovebox...

Cheers...

Nick.

Talk to Darren at the weekend and he'll talk you out of it...

I traced this down to a blown fuse and after checking the windings on each motor for a potential short I replaced the fuse and they worked OK. The no. 11 fuse that was blown was rated at 15amps but in the book this is supposed to be 30amps. Is/ has there been any recommended changes to fuse ratings per fuse i.e. to reduce the rating to reduce the risk of wiring damage?

It's to reduce the risk of melting the fuse box probably. Mine was rated 
at 10 and the stereo comes off the same fuse, so with the new mtoors and 
the stereo on. Pop-a-diddly!

YES - most cars have the high beam fuse melted
