| Actually, you can buy circuit breakers that fit the original sockets on you fuse panel at any good autoparts store. They are not very expensive, and work quite well. Advantage is that if a fuse blows, you must replace it. The circuit breaker will just reset. Disadvantage is, you probably will not fix the underlying problem that is causing the breaker to pop since it resets itself. That can lead to more serious problems. |
