If there is a short it will light to full brightness. For lower current circuits, use a lamp that is lower draw than the fuse. You could have used a smaller bulb on your headlight diagnosis if you disconnected the headlights. <div><br><div><div dir="ltr">Pat Horne <div>We support Habitat for Humanity</div><div><br></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Jan 10, 2024, at 10:21 PM, Moose <eric@megageek.com> wrote:<br><br></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">OK, I'm sure I'm missing something here,
