"Honey, whats that smell every time we open the doors? Smells like hot electrical wire, Same smell after you rewired the house!"

I know you all know this, but fuses have a purpose in life. Shunting around the fuse or placing in a much larger fuse is a no-no in my world, except in very special cases (like a fuse that runs your vehicle blows in a bad area).

Have a nice day!

Check your fuses with a test light to be sure. You'd be surprised what you find is bad.
