Electrical fault follows fitting a higher-rated fuse

Tell the workshop exactly what was changed and stop experimenting with fuse ratings. Protective devices must match the vehicle requirements. A larger fuse is not a repair for repeated failure and can change the risk and evidence.

What to tell us

  • Original circuit.
  • Fuse change.
  • Reason it was changed.

Before arranging work

Power-system diagnosis should relate the recorded symptom to the actual circuit and equipment fitted. Do not bypass protective devices or substitute higher fuse ratings. Tell the repairer about accessories and any previous changes to power connections.

Ask AXION about this fault. Send the vehicle details and the information above. Please agree an appointment or postal assessment with us before travelling or sending a module.
