Also, if the fuse is blown, will the light on the spike still be on?
Yes the light on the spike will still be on if the fuse is blown. The light reflects input from the PWM cable. As others have mentioned, the compressor spike fuse needs to be replaced by a 20 amp breaker. The starting current for the compressor is too high for a 20 amp fuse to last very long. A breaker has a built in delay that allows momentary current spikes (pun) as seen when starting up the compressor.
