blown fuses
Just curious about the fuses in some of these cars. Today I blew the fuse for the instrument cluster almost immediately after I started the car. Is it common for the fuses to blow on these cars? I am mainly just curious if I am going to have to stock up. There should have been no extra pull on this particular fuse when it blew.

I haven't used my car very much. I did replace all the fuses with new ones. The previous owner had problems with the A/C-heater blower blowing the fuse when on the high or max position. I used the copper or brass fuses and had no problem. I bought some at Advanced auto. Sometimes they have the brass ones other times the aluminum ones. I see one copper ones sold in set on E-Bay. Might check with Phil.

these open style fuses do fail on their own. I would not only stock up, I would preemptively replace them all with new copper with ceramic body fuses.

I was wondering if it would be reasonable to look for a short in the system if a particular fuse blows out repeatedly. What would be the first thing you would suspect assuming you had ruled out defective fuses?

I too had a problem with a fuse blowing when the a/c was on max. it would work for awhile.....20 min. or so then blow. I also noticed it seemed to blow when pulling out quickly. I solved the problem by installing a circuit breaker instead of the fuse. Now if it "blows" it will reset itself and I am still protected.
