Argo Conquest 30 amp fuse

[28560HUNTING]

Help was looking at my conquest and noticed the 30 amp fuse burnt and melted. Replaced fuse and ran all good charging fine now. Any ideas why it would blow the fuse???? Was running and starting fine
just came back from elk hunting and it never missed a beat, just happened to notice the melted fuse

ANY IDEAS????

Usually heat is developed from bad connections. Overload will burn the fuse but a poor connection can arc and make a hot spot. Clean the fuse holder and fuse , make sure new fuse is tight. The charging system runs through this fuse and a low battery will work it constantly also.

Hi, I had a 97 conquest with the same problem. The 30 amp fuse would burn the blades of in the fuse block. Usually in the middle of know where. I had an on going problem with mine. The fuse holder was faulty I would carry spare fuses. My machine would quit so I would just wiggle the fuse and away it would go. I tried to tighten the fuse holder but this did not help I just learned to live with it. The best way may be to cut the wires clear of the fuse block for that fuse and install a remote fuse holder Good luck, Paul
