Hi Randy,
I just won the lottery too, and able to login.
So you had a drivers window switch shorting to ground that blew F-8.
I would have put a new switch for $10.
Save old dead ATC fuses. You can make a nice connector with a little
dremeling on the top to expose the legs of the fuse and solder on some wires
to measure current in fused ATC circuits.
Take one of those dead fuses and cut it in half. Use it for a gauge in your fuse block at the cabin fan fuse 16. If the board is discolored, 10:1 odds there's a loose arcing pin.
Pins get loose with repeated extractions and insertions.
Then they degrade with age and arcing and become resistors and draw current and make a toaster.
You can extract the pin from the fuse block with a thin straight slot screwdriver made out of a stainless bicycle spoke and tighten NOT CRUSH
with vise grips. Dave Barton to the rescue for new pins if you need them.
Do Penetrox-A on the pins. It improves conductivity while deterring corrosion
and the nasty results.
I lost your email with a crashed SSD, and crappy backup here, or I would have been yacking with you before.
Best, Bill
