Hey, that one fuse was probably one of those handy "Universal Replacement"
fuses. They look like regular fuses but they come in a box stamped "30"
(usually) or "35" or "40" (not as common). If that 5 A fuse keeps
blowing, just put a Universal Replacement in and it won't blow! In
stubborn cases, two Universal Replacement fuses can be used in parallel.
In _really_ stubborn cases, a suitable length of "Daerhtlla 02-4/1" from
Builders Square Aerospace will do the job for sure.
