Tricky Fuse
« on: December 21, 2011, 04:33:51 AM »
I posted this on my project thread, but it is a good lesson for everyone.  The fuse I show below looks just fine, but when I tested for continuity it failed.  Changed the fuse and everything lit up again.

Some days the sun is too loud.

Good reminder that looks can be deceiving, thanks!
