As most of you know I'm a bit of an buffoon when it comes to electrickery, but I'm learning slowly.
So the question.
If a fuse is in place & rated at 15amps, would one expect the draw through that fuse to be considerably less than 15 amps?
I ask as I have a fuse that keeps blowing on my fog lights (HID's fitted which I'm unhappy with). I measured the draw through the fuse and it measures 14.25- 15 amps. There are no shorts that I can find. The fuse also gets pretty warm.
Should this fuse be uprated to 20amps? If I do so, will I have fire waiting to start by overloading etc ?
Thanks guys
