50 vs 80 amp

You're right, the same strip fuse comes in both 50 and 80 amp. The ones I got that kept blowing had 80 A printed on them so I assumed they were right, though very possible they were a misprinted strip or some such error. A noticeable difference in thickness between the ones I got from the dealer. I think the 50's are for a heater maybe? Wouldn't be a big deal except that little fuse had the unfortunate side effect of disabling the car. Good to point out though that there ate two different amperages out there. Thanks.
