[Healeys] Hot Fuse

[David Nock]

Any where there is high resistance it will create heat. So if there is a bad connection at one of the fuse terminals the connector will get warm. And since it is not a dead short it may not blow the fuse.

Pull the fuses out and check the they are clean connections, the clips are holding fuse tight in place.

I had a similar problem years ago. After changing fuses, etc without making a difference I found the problem was a poor connection between the fuse and the fuse holder. I replace the fuse box and that fixed the problem.

First, pull the fuse--when it's cold--and check its resistance.
