it's cold as hell in MD == so i warmed my spiddy up and turn on the windsheild wipers and they were stuck with ice == so i cleared the ice off the windshield but forgot i left the switch on along with the heater and headlights and radio etc.. i blew a fuse -- no biggy grapped a new 8amp fuse to put in and noticed the fuse holder was barely squeezing the fuse inplace. so i bent in all my fuse tabs to make good contact with the fuses--- and the wipers keep wipping but it's still cold as sh*t.
just a note to check the dumb stuff first == if you see that the fuses are corrodded(sp?) check the tension on the holders-- it's cheap and easy and could result in a whole lotta problems
