fuse fitted to earth wire on Tyre Monitor system
Hey peeps got a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System for our Discovery. The unit has 3 wires. 1 x permanent 12v 1x Ign 12v and 1x earth. For some reason the earth is fused !! I've seen this on some old skool and Jap vehicles. Would / could this lead to any issues on a.land Rover or will it still be safe????

Are you sure it's a fuse and not a diode? Either way due to the fact it will have minimal resistance it will not do any harm whatsoever. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Micro fuse. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.
