My car started to smell a little on the way to work. Well, once I saw the smoke it didn't take long to figure out something was up. Got the new one from Jeff.

Yeah, but I would have thought the fuse would blow first....nope. Just kept on cooking itself.

I've seen plenty of fuses where someone wrapped the blown fuse with aluminum foil. :mad :mad

Actually, the circuit that the current flows through is 30AMPs!! I had to pull it until the switch was replaced to prevent further damage to the system. I thought maybe the motor was shorted out, but it is working perfectly now.

I've been into just about every system on this car at one time or another and I don't allow those hookie things on my ride.
