Car Fuse goes Bad
Being semi-retired; I don't drive as much in the winter;
so I put my car battery on a Charger to keep it fresh ! Unfortunately the electric power failed for some reason ( somebody hit a pole ? ) so when it came back on; it surged my Charger ! This didn't affect the Battery; however it blew the Fuse in the car, astoundingly. So that even though I got a jump, the car was still dead ! So I had to get it towed to have it checked out. That was when they told me the fuse was dead; so I had to get that replaced for about $11 ! After that the car was OK. So I guess the moral of the story is; to have your Charger connected through a surge protector, in order to protect the Fuses in your car ! Or ; if the power goes off, then you should disconnect your Charger until it has been back on for an hour ( sometimes it would go off more than once and then they would surge it twice ! ) The Electric company doesn't care if they surge the line; when they turn the power back on ! |
