Who knows what each of the underhood fuses does?
I blew a (i think) few of these fuses yesterday, they were kind of hard to see. Ive found out what the cover says, but couldnt seem to find any info in the sticky. I have a standalone if it matters. The thing is, at $5 a fuse, I just prefer to buy as few of them as needed.
I'm a boost creep...

Actually the S4 FSM is pretty hard to get fuse info out of. The S5's is much, much better.
Here's a list of all of the S4's fuses and what systems they protect. S5's are mostly similar but there are a few differences. Note that most fuses protect several systems and some systems are protected by more than one fuse.
