Replacing the Fuse

Your HTX-242 (and vehicle) are protected by a 15-amp fuse in the HTX-242’s positive (red) power wire. If the HTX-242 does not turn on, even when you are sure the power wire is properly connected to a 12V DC power source, check the fuse and replace it, if necessary.

1.Snap open the in-line fuse holder.

2.Remove the fuse from the holder, and slide the fuse out of the end connectors.

3.If the fuse’s filament is no longer intact, replace the fuse with a 15-amp 11/4 ⋅ 1/4-inch fuse (Cat. No. 270-1073).

Caution: Use only a fuse of the recommended size and type. Using another type fuse, or defeating the fuse protection, could damage your vehicle or your HTX-242. If the fuse frequently blows, there is a problem with the HTX-242 or its wiring. Have that problem fixed as soon as possi- ble.

4.Replace the fuse in the holder and snap it closed.
