shorted to ground.
1. For safety reasons, remove the 4A, in-line fuse from the acces-
sory power cable.
2. Unscrew the 3 pin power connector. Inspect for stray wire
strands and visible shorts.

cable is damaged, it must be replaced.
4. Replace the 7.5A fuse and re-install the wires into the terminal
Bd. connector.
5. If the 7.5A blows again, then replace the power cable.
