Caution
•
Never attempt to "repair" fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a
higher amperage - risk of fire! This may also cause damage at another part of the
electrical system.
•
Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage
if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
