I cant answer your question but I will share this: I had that fuse fail on me many years back. Got the car towed to my mechanic. Now I know many of you might say this is a "bad idea",but the mechanic hard-wired that area, bypassing that fuse. He mentioned there are other areas that serve to do the same thing and that 25 amp fuse is redundant, in his opinion. He said he has done it many times and there's never ever been any problem with it ever, as there has never ever been any problem with mine. Well who knows, maybe after 50 years it might "screw up", but so far so good. For those who say that's a "bad idea", well you are also entitled to your opinions. (12 years later, I still say, so far so good).

Personally, I reccomend you do it the "right way", Im just relaying my experience.
