As you can tell from my signiture, I'm NOT a Corvette guy, so please bear with me.
I'm working on a '78 Vette, and while doing some electrical work under the dash I kept blowing the "Courtesy Lights" fuse. So, I resorted to putting a 20Amp Circuit Breaker in the "Courtesy Lights" fuse position (2nd one down on the Left Side) The circuit breaker immediately gets very hot. (I don't think I have a short, as I knew each time I blew the fuse, I was aware of the cause. and other than that, the fuse was carrying the load) Does anyone on here have a listing of what all this fuse serves? Or can you send me to a link that would show that circuit? Do circuit breakers normally get this hot?
The breaker in use is about 1/4" square, black plastic with round copper lugs that fit into the fuse position. (I think it is made by Dorman)
This car is being raffled off for charity in 3 weeks (July 21,'12) so money is non-existant for buying anything, and time is pretty much in the same catagory.
Thanks!
