Fuse issues

Post by Oversteer »

I just installed a power trunk release on the Formula and since then I have been having problems with one of the fuses. The fuse is labelled BAT, and uses a 20 amp fuse. It keeps blowing fuses, and when you try and replace them the fuse arcs out and blows. I shoved a 30 amp in there and all is fine.

I thought it could have been the power trunk release, but the release still works when the fuse is blown. I am not sure whats going on, electrical isn't my thing by any means.

Anyone have an idea what the problem might be. Stupidity insults welcome and expected.
