 |
|
My air conditioning runs fine for about 5 miles (bighorn 3.1 td)
Then the 7.5 amp fuse which is under the bonett in the black box blows.
Put in new fuse same thing, any ideas?
Regards to all Joe. |

Thats a very small fuse, are you sure its not supposed to be a 15 or 20 amp.
I'm sure one of the guys here will know as mine doesnt have A/C

The a/c fuse rating in the Trooper 3.0l is 10amps, so I'd give uprated fuse a try.

| aircon fuse on 3.1td is 10 amp there are no fuses under 10 amps under bonnet so as Dab says a change to a 10 amp should sort it unless there is an electrical fault |
