Tail and Dash Lights Out and a 7.5 fuse
So I had my tail lights and Dash Lights go out. Needless to say I became really popular driving home that night:scooter:
Anyways, I went ahead and got that $10 fuse kit from walmart and started replacing all my fuses since I just bought the XJ and there was no maintenance history. Low and behold I run into some 7.5 fuses (which were not included in the Wally World Kit). I was a little confused. I replaced everything I could and tried the lights, no luck. So I tested the two 7.5 fuses and one was blown. On closer examination, the 7.5 fuse was plugged into a 15 fuse spot and so I figured that was the issue. I replaced it with a 15 and everything was fine and all the lights came back on. I'm a little worried though, because I'm wondering why the F*#($ a 7.5 was plugged into a 15:bangin:. Is there anything you guys can think of? |
Someone probably just ran out of the right fuses - it was only a matter of time before that 7.5a blew on a 15a circuit.

are you sure it wasnt in SLOT 15?
Where did you get the 15a spec from? |
someone probly just didnt have the right fuses and used what they had at the time

Looks like you do need a 15a on that circuit, at least my girlfriends 96 does.
Someone pry ran out of fuses and used a 7.5 to get by.. You can see on slot 15, it is a 15a fuse and controls your parking lights and IP lights. http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/DSCI0503.jpg |

Yeah, I'm hoping that's what it was. My only other thought is that there's a 7.5 slot right under it, I suppose it's possible they got them mixed up.

why dont you instead of talking about it, go plug a 15a in the slot ? haha
