my main glow plug fuse the 50amp strip one has blown about 3 times in the last year.

any advise on why this may be?

its usually when i havent used the bus for a couple of weeks and the battery will be fairly flat, and the fuse blows.

this time i have put in a 60amp strip fuse to see how that holds up.

anyone else had this problem?

Mines only blown once - and have no idea why that was.

Hope that sorts it...

If the 50 amp fuse is blowing and it some times flattens the battery sounds like the relay could be sticking. (not switching off)

ahhh the relay.
i had a suspision that it could be that, do you mean the big one next to the strip fuse holder?

only i changed this for a new one a few months ago.

and its blown after that.

or is there another relay you mean?
