    Meron din ako nung college, electronics project.
    Sumabog yung fuse in front of me when I plug my simple electronics project.
    Buti nalang nasa fuse holder, so yung holder yung stopper sa mga sumabog na splinter ng fuse.

    Pero yung nasa loob ng bahay, nataranta, ano daw yung sumabog.
    Baliktad pala pagkakabit ko ng fuse.

    corolla 2e valve cover gasket was leaking. i was just a teen at the time so in my infinite lack of wisdom i thought the solution was to simply tighten the bolts some more this was an old design, just 2 bolts holding the whole thing. the cover warped at the bolt holes as i OVER-tightened. didn't fix the leak LOL

    i try to have lots of fuses, when i have to do more electrical work than just replacing bulbs.
