I have been blowing a 20 amp fuse under the hood in my F150 when towing my boat. This has been an ongoing problem for a few years now. I blows and then the running lights and markers go out. The brake and turning signals still work. The truck has a connector that plugs into the round trailer connection that converts to the standard male plug.
I have a Warrior Trailer (Shorelander style roller trailer). I have had sections of the trailer wire replaced several times. The marina would show me the bad wire that had the sheathing wore off and exposed copper. That was making contact with the trailer and blowing the fuse.
This spring I brought the boat in to have a complete lighting job done. I asked them to replace everything from the plug back. For a couple months everything worked. Now I am back to blowing fuses. When I brought the boat back to the marina, everything worked fine, no fuse blew. They tried to tell me the problem is in the truck wiring. On the way home I blew a fuse.
Now I am back to blowing fuses. I put a fuse in and it held for 45 mintes of driving on Friday and Saturday then blew on Sunday AM.
Does anyone have any ideas or troubleshooting suggestions?
there a bugger to clean but oh so worth it.
mom used to brown it rolled in flour and salt and pepper. put it in a roaster add onions, dry onion soup mix and bake it. depending on how bog or old it was pretty much depended on how long it needed to bake!!!!! usually a good 3-4 hours!!!!
Any recs on how to find a good general dentist in Stamford? I will be paying cash. Getting a referral from a trusted friend or family member would be nice but let's say this isn't an option.
Thanks
