Fuses

[rejeep]

I remember reading somewhere but can't find it at the moment...
English and american glass fuses are rated differently?
Something about the amperage rating being on a different scale..

I tried to swap in a different wiper switch today and kept popping fuses..

From TeriAnn's site:

FUSES: 35 AMP LUCAS type fuse or AGC 25 AMP for American Bussman type fuse

Note: The British Standard for fuses rated fuses by the current that was guaranteed to make them blow instantly. The American fuse standard rates fuses by the current that they will carry forever which is why different AMP ratings are equivalent.
