It says it comes with 'Replaceable 15-Amp Fuse' but mine contained a 2a Fuse that was DOA. Need replacement but should I get a 2-a or 15?

My whole housing melted connected to 15A circuit so I never got the chance to replace it. If it is not a must need return it for something that expressly states the Amps you need on the housing.

Instruction sheet says lighter fuse should be 15A, minimum; not sure how this correlates with the 10A spec in the first line item.

If it is wired properly you should only need a 10amp fuse. If there is too many items on the supply line then it may blow fuse. It should be listed in the instructions what the max fuse size is

I think that the fuse is a safety feature, and is not really intended to be replaced. I would think that if it shorted out badly enough to blow the fuse, that it was damaged and unsafe to use.

I used a 10 amp fuse and it worked very well. My amp meter never pulled more than 5.5 amps in any mode. Hope this info helps.

I do not know amps fuse is rated for, but have had the product for several months and use it regularly; and have had absolutely no problems with the unit (fuses or otherwise).

I used a 5 amp in mine. I would think that the original fuse would be fine for whatever circuit you are putting this in, then see what the requirements are for your dash cam and choose an appropriate fuse.

If not a fuse, I would change the switch. Much cheaper than an hour labor at the dealer. Easy to replace.

You do need two fuses. The one that comes with it and a second one. Also make sure the fuse hasn't blown.

If yours is the same as mine, the fuse holder is not connected to anything and mine was empty anyway. You might want to read my AOL review which addresses this issue.

Mine came with a 5A 250V fuse. Either way if yours comes with less, a 5A is appropriate to install as most cig lighters are fused at 7 - 10 amps and no radio should use more than 2 - 3 amps unless it is "modified."

Oh the fuse is huge, I think 50 amps. You can get a smaller fuse though and substitute it into the gold plated connector

I went to look on the fuse to see if it had any numbers written on them. They have some numbers embossed on one of the ends. They are hard to read if you don't have enough light and hold them the right way. But the number reads F15AL 250V, for anyone who has the same question. (I am the same person that asked the question, but on a friend's account since I can't answer my own question.)

I take it the 15A breakers are in the electrical panel not on the generator. If so then you will only be able to use the 4 15A (black ones) switches. The 2 20A (red ones) will not protect the 15A house wiring safely. You can get replacement 15A push button style breakers for this panel. Not to hard to replace they run about $15-$25 each. Call Reliance or do a search for them. You will use the 30A receptacle on your gen and will need a 30A cord with twist-lock ends. You can get this transfer switch in a kit form that includes a 10' cord, a outdoor receptacle and the switch cheaper than buying them separately.
