Fuses; Fuses - SAFARI Trek 2002 Owner's Manual

Fuses

Fuses offer a simple and effective method of protecting the 12 VDC lines from overloads.
By burning out during an overload, they stop the current and end the hazard the over-
loaded circuit might present to the appliances and to the coach. Fuses are an important
safety feature and should never be bypassed.
If power no longer flows to a particular 12 VDC appliance or circuit, the fuse should be
one of the first items to check. A fuse can be checked visually, but an ohmmeter will
detect whether the fuse still conducts electricity if you are in doubt. If the fuse is blown
there may be a problem in the system. Check the appliances on the circuit for signs of
damage or defects and check the wiring for possible shorts.
NOTE: When replacing a fuse always use a fuse of the same amperage rating - never
