loose connections to much draw small fuse

when installed it seemed to fit good and i matched the fuse to my amp fuses 2x30=60 is that right

god, just be glad your car didn't catch on fire.

yeah no shit

it is prob one of several things. one could be the fuse type. if the fuse didn't fit extremely well it could have caused the fuse holder to heat up tii it melted the plastic and destroyed the connection in the end of the fuse as well. It could have been a bad fuse(not likly though). could have been to big of a fuse. Or the fuse holder just got to hot.

so this would be a better fuse to use

or what about a circuit breaker

A decent anl fuse should work.

It's kinda comical that the fuse holder burned before the fuse blew. Great product.

typical for agu fuses i have seen dozens do it thats why I dont sell or use them anl is the only way to go. agu is garbage at anything over 40 amps constant duty they were not designed for it.

ANL it is then- that cost more right LOL

any brand better than the rest

do i need to replace all my wiring or just cut off the burnt ends

 

[x1le 10+ year member]

I would just order from knu.

And there's no need to replace the wire unless it is damaged or literally started burning. If the ends that connected to the fuse are torched just snip em off as far as it's burned.

Your power wire is grounding out somewhere.
