Yep.

Maybe to you, ...but we see vehicles shipped from all areas where the freight is as much as the repair bill. It is all about what is important to an owner.

I never found what blew the fuse, but I never had any trouble with the car after that, for over four years before I sold it. I've never run fuses on any kind on my cars. But I make certain they are all wired correctly and safely, and check regularly for possible shorted areas. Just my personal experience. Your mileage may vary. But I like 'em stock, and I run 'em as close to that as I can. (Except for the whitewalls on my coupe. But I bought the car like that, and the tread is good, and at almost $700 for new rubber I'll run these till Nellie comes home. Then I'll get some blackwalls!)

And evidence of yet another one!
