[QUOTE="AApple, post: 972, member: 56"] I recently found out about a TSB(technical service bulletin) from GM concerning the use of certain fuses....It ain't good news! :sensored: Seems these fuses are not "popping" when they should...and when that happens all of the smoke comes out of the wires. :sensored: The TSB is # TSB 07-08-45-002 It states that they tested some of these fuses. The 15amp fuse wouldn't pop even when directly shorted across the battery terminals! :o I have a copy of the bulletin that I can send out, if anyone is interested. The fuses in this particular instance came from Harbor Freight & Tool. What brought it to my attention was someone from one of my Trans Tech forums. He had a car that had no reverse lights. He found a bad fuse, and replaced it. When they started the car, and put it into reverse to check the lights, all of the smoke came out of the wires under the dash! :sensored: Anyway...just wanted to pass this along, and warn ya'll about buying the cheapest fuses you can find...in this case, it just ain't worth saving a few pennies. So...if you have anything on your 'Wing with spade-type fuses, beware!! [/QUOTE]
