[QUOTE="more_spl, post: 904692, member: 543013"] ok, unsureness strikes. heres the scenario::::: installed deck in a 1985 car (so it's older..) now im more than certain, that this fuse ONLY blows when the deck is on/playing. these are the functions of the fuse that is blowing:: courtesty lamps, key warning buzzer, clock, illuminated entry, CB memory, etc.. The fuse is a 15A that keeps blowing. soooo, im wondering, is it safe to step up to a 20A, or 25A fuse and see if it stops blowing? i need my analog clock and interior lights. ::PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION TOO:: Reason im asking is cuz while we were doing the install, a relay box hit a piece of metal inside the car and sparked, so we were unsure if it was a short or not... But on the way home, i didnt power up the head unit, and the lights and clock fuse didnt blow.. So is it safe to assume that the head unit is pulling too much amperage for that 15A fuse? [/QUOTE]
