July 14, 200915 yr comment_289523 Bee,If you had a 30A fuse in a 10A slot and were blowing your fusible link, be sure to check out the wiring leading away from that fuse. It and/or adjacent wires might be cooked. If enough insulation melts, allowing enough wires to short to ground, that could result in your blowing your fusible link. Don't be afraid to unwrap the wiring harnesses for inspection. You can always re-wrap them with fresh electrical tape.
