Title: Question about car fuses
Post by: tp4tissue on Sun, 28 February 2016, 10:58:10

I just replaced a fuse for my door locks.

My theory is thus,

long term wear (general)


and


cold weather, causing higher current duty for the lock actuators,  therefore exceeding the rated 20 amps..



Any car people know any other possibility for the problem?

Faulty fuse?

Short circuit?

How old is the car?

Has it been raining? Do your seals look like they still function?
