2.
Unscrew the 3 pin power connector. Inspect for stray wire
strands and visible shorts.

Inspect the full length of the power cable. Look for damaged
insulation, which may cause shorting between the cable and
ground potential (e.g. truck frame or chassis). If the power
cable is damaged, it must be replaced.

Replace the 7.5A fuse and re
-
install the wires into the terminal
Bd. connector.
5.
If the 7.5A blows again, then replace the power cable.
