Re: [DML] Fuses and Headlights

[PRC1216@xxxxxxx]

My high beam fuse melted the area around it in the fuse box...yet the fuse 
never blew.   Kind of scary.   I too have an early car.   Don't give up on it, 
make sure the fuse terminals are clean and corrosion free.   Use a fingernail 
file and a can of compressed air to clean up the fuse sockets, this should make 
less resistance, which means less heat, which means less of a chance of 
melting.   For my high beam fuse that melted the socket, I cut the wires under it, 
wired in an external fuse holder, and tucked it neatly underneath the box.
