Just take it back to Gary Crick, as they might've done something.

Let us know how you go. Don't forget to tell them you checked the fuses. Don't mention anything about you checking the wiring, they might spack.

:lol: If in doubt you should always meter the fuse!

If not you read what the other fuses in the box are for and pinch the fuse from something not overly important that has the same sized fuse and use it in the position of the possibly dodgey fuse...

One think I would recommend dooing now is going to supercheap and buy a pack of standard fuses and another pack of the newer mini fuses. Only a few $$ each and they give you like one fuse of each of the common sizes! Then keep them in your glovebox just in case for future use! :wink:
