If your truck still starts the fuse is good,if it blows the truck should be dead and even a boost won't get it running.

You must have a very large screen or powerful reading glasses.
That's tough to see with my 17" laptop.

LOL, I suppose I can make out the values if I get off the couch and get close and personal with the display but, I need my reading specs and viewing the screen from that position is too much work.
With my modified version, I can continue slouching over the arm of the couch and still read the current values without glasses.

IMO that fuse is to protect from someone hooking up jump box or cables backwards. More than anything else
