Re: [T3] fuses

Sometimes an old fuse has simply corroded too much, and won't take
the current it should.  If a new one of the correct rating blows,
look for a fault, or extra wiring being added.

you should replace 8A with 8A, etc.

There is no reason to replace an old fuse with a new fuse as long as
the old fuse is still good.  Sometimes an old fuse will corrrode a
bit in the fuse box and stop conducting; this can often be cured by
twisting it slightly in the fuse clips.  This breaks the corrosion
layer and gives a fresh life to the fuse.
