I have an inline fuse holder on the + wire which is 10amp, problem is it keeps blowing, is this the correct fuse or should it be higher?

He's got some Volvo I Believe,..........<br /><br />Regardless,........ I'd try a 20A Anyway,.......<br />If there's Actually a Short,.... It'll Blow,..... Then you'll just have to Find the Short........

Thanks, yep its a volvo 130d with a 280 drive, not sure what make the tabs are though, the fuse only blows after a few seconds of trying to raise the tabs

Re: Trim Tabs fuse

I have Bennet trim tabs with the racing style control button. Meaning you can control them individually. Anyway the previous owner said it was the racing style control but whatever. My point is if you use both of them at the same time (push each button to lower or raise them)it will blow the fuses. I guess when you run them together it pulls too much juice. I just lower them one at a time and have no problems. <br /><br />I have a 84 SRV225, which is a 24 footer by todays standards and I really do not know why he put them on there. I really don't need them and hardly use them.
