Electrical conundrum revealed !

TL DR = Too Long, Didn't Read

Thanks for the translation. I have said it before, I'll say it again (and again, and again, if necessary), "texting" shortcuts might work with texting, but that's not what this forum is.

Some of us "old fogies" just don't know all the "shortcuts" (which, like carburetor cleaning, tend to be LONGcuts), and really appreciate FULL WORDS being used.

I do like those circuit breakers, Steve... I had no idea those existed!

Take a look at Auto Zone, Advance Auto and O'Reilly's. I have seen them in there, on occasion.

The Easiest and Surest way to test for a Faulty Fuse, is to just meter for Volts across the fuse, In Place, with Power On.
Anything more than 0.1Vdc is suspect.

Thanks for all the responses guys.

"TL;DR
(Internet) too long; didn’t read. Used to indicate that one did not read a (long) text, or to mark a short summary of an overly long text."

Just in case there was a small chance that someone did not want to hear the whole back story, I added a TLDR.

I am not a fan of txt speak either. I guess I was simply trying to cover my bases.

Now, back to business. If one were to change to a blade fuse box, what would said person look for?

I put one from www.wiringproducts.com on my bike while others have gone to www.easternbeaver.com on theirs. The Eastern Beaver model is the cadillac of fuse blocks while the ones from OReillys, Wiring Products, or similar are your low end Chevy's.

It's not just voltage, it is also current. My car died despite good battery voltage, with the engine off. The battery was shot, as it couldn't put out the required amperage.
