Cool Carry some Spares

10A fuse no. 32 ECS- blew--Car won't crank-(dead) thought it was problem with immobilizer system, becuse, got quick flash from security indicator warning light.
Checked fuses- and found one of the two ECS fuses blown- replaced, had spare in the garage, no problems- took to dealer- everything checks out "-bad fuse-"- not sure I'm buying, but everything does work fine. Moral to story, carry some spare fuses- learn where they are- (I doubt that's a problem for folks on this forum).

Just to let owners know, in case they don't, there are some spare fuses--one each, 7.5, 10, 15, 20 amp--in the inside fuse box located on the left side of the drivers footwell.
