Default Fuses on Engine Bay Panel.

I was checking out fuses yesterday and 27,28,29 and 30 are shown as "spare" but a couple of them are hot. Why are they spare but powered?

Anyone know if they could be used as a power source?

Hey Dee

Not sure if GM did something similar to the C5 as they did to the C6, but in the C6 Z... the fuse used to allow the baffles to remain open, when it's pulled, is marked as "spare".

Just a thought... maybe something is connected to them?

Hope someone has a solid answer.

When I look into mine I don't see any metal contacts. I have a 98. Are you looking at it right??

They actually have fuses fitted but a tester across the fuse shows live
