[200q20v] radiator fuse - failsafe

[C1J1Miller at aol.com]

I think the issue is that the fuse can blow, no warning to driver other than high temp on gauge.  Adding a warning light is the best option, but I'm happy with watching gauges, myself. Oh, and changing out the $1 fuse every few years.

If you really wanted a 'failsafe' you would run the two fuses in series.
This way they both see the exact same load and if one fails to blow at the
rated fuse load the other might blow and protect the wiring.

one/they still blow at the proper current?

Thanks,

No, you can not run two fuses; you'd double the amps needed to blow the
circuit to 160.
