Crafty sods.............
Just had a problem with the 12v circuit on a caravan, basically no output from transformer, it had one external fuse which tested ok, the rest of the
unit is sealed and closed with rivets.......
Well nothing too lose, drill rivets out and what do i find ?
a 15amp fuse lurking inside, change it, all working fine........
How much would they have charged too "repair" the unit ????

Battery connected wrong way around was the cause, but what a pants way of protecting it, internal fuse with no way of getting at it.
There's only one left for sale now, petty you didn't go around the back, bit of a stock on...........

Had same with my mum's microwave. 13A fuse in plug, 10A fuse inside the unit. Obvious which one is going to blow first and most people would
just chuck the thing in the bin when it stopped working! Surely the only reason they do it is to meke people throw away perfectly good appliances into
landfill and have to buy new ones
