Re: New Power Distribution/ Fuse Pannel Problem
Perhaps I can clairfy.

The battery voltage is 12 volts from the mains, going into the PD board. When you put the fuse in, the output from the terminal is 12 volts. However, when the fuse is removed, the output is STILL 12 volts.

It sounds to me like the board may indeed be faulty, as the output should be ZERO (I would think) after the fuse is removed. Otherwise, what is the purpose of a fuse if current/voltage is still allowed to pass through.
