John,
If you are asking about cardboard tube fuses, they may not show anything
if they open due to a surge. You have to test them with an ohm meter.
Be sure to disconnect from the mains line before doing any probing.
Inspect all power path connections for proper solder joints, tight
connectors, tight terminal strip screws, etc. before powering up with
new fuses. In fact, the ohm meter can show if there is a short on the
DC bus positive to ground side. If possible, isolate the final from the
DC supply,as this test is easier to interpret if you open that circuit.

I gentlemen am the one with the sick amp . I have very limited
knowledge and if I only understand one thing it is that the amp can kill
. I checked the fuses with the continuity tool and the ohm meter per
someones instructions . (thanks) Both fuses appear to be open . I have
ordered a few new ones and if it works Great if the fuses either don't
do the trick or blow again I will send it to the mother ship . I have
taken no offense to any of the remarks but think of all the hams out
there who driven since they were 16 but wouldn't attempt a tune up or
repair of there vehicle . Hell , I can't work on my truck either ! All
the best . John Molenda kb2huk
