The things you do to me...

I went with a friend who owns a van,to help him deliver some goods,and,on the way back,when he started the engine,a check light bulb message was showing nice on the display. What the hell,we thought,it's just a bulb,and as he is a smart person,he had spares in the car. 10 minutes later,light bulb changed,still,same problem. I went at the electric fuses panel,and...bingo,we have a problem !! A nice 5A fuse burned down,i mean,melted inside. This fuse,my friend doesn't have,so,what can we do? No auto shops in sight,Saturday evening,so slim chances to find one near us. After some debates,we took out the horn fuse,exchanged the burned one,and thing as good to go. The only problem,and here is what i want you to remember,is that you should always have 2-3 fuses,5A,10A,15A at least,somehere handy in your car. Might be the ignition system that fails to start,and a cheap cause,the fuse the choosed to melt. In our case,the horn was a 15Amps,so it will need to be replaced with a proper 5A when he finds one for sale. You can put higher value fuses in lowervalue sockets,but risk some damage to electrical system,but not otherwise- small in high.
