You've been working field service long enough to know
that
fuses go bad, too. They de-solder; they break due to
vibration; the
ends corrode and lose connectivity.
I've seen this happen on
cheesy fuse holders. I have never seen, or heard of it happening on
an automotive fuse. Now, don't start telling me stories of some
crappy old car that had rats in the fuse holder, because that ain't
comparable.
I have items like fuel
pumps separately fused, and to the wiring rating, so they should never blow
unless there's a good reason. Items like the EC-2 are directly tied
to power, via two attachment points. This is how Tracy recommends it,
because the controller will be it's own fuse.
If I had the panel
space, and believed CB's offered any significant benefit, I wouldn't care about
the cost and weight.
Gotta go pick up my new
company van, and replace a switch in Mobile.
