I found something doing this mod. I notice after you pushed them in hard.
I grabbed the power one; I noticed that if you wiggled it at all ever slightly it would lose contact causing the power to go on off on off on off on off. I thought this could be bad a bumpy road and car shuts off.
So I had my "air" cutting tool with a cutting disk on it that was almost completely worn. I used this to shave off some of the plastic that goes in-between the fuse. I sand disk on a dremel would work do. I mean it was not much at all just a little. This solved the issue.

According to the Manual:
1.25=45 Amps
.30=20 Amps
.50=30 Amps
.85=35 Amps

I just did this! Damn it was easy. I read about it today and then went to the auto parts store. Did the changeover in the parking lot.
Went to Advance Auto parts. The fusble links are $2.77 each. Got 2 30 amp and 1 60 amp. Also got spares. It took about 37 seconds per link to change out (this includes tearing into the packaging)! It was so incredibly easy. Everything works great!
