I took the Bronco to vacuum it out today, but it wouldn't crank when I tried to start it up. The battery was almost completely dead, but I was able to get someone to jump me off.
On my way home, the Bronco cut off while I was stopped, so I got another jump and went to O'Reilly's to get the alternator/battery tested. I noticed that the 175A mega fuse had some black gunk on the sides and got it tested. It was blown, so I got the 150A in-line breaker they had to get me home.
Now, it cranks right back up after I shut it off, but I'm wondering if anyone else had had issues with the fuses blowing. I want to make sure something bigger isn't wrong (wiring and such), as it seems like it would take a lot to blow those fuses, especially when I don't have a big radio, wench, or other loads on the fuse.
Thanks,
Danny
