Q: My truck wont start
I replaced a bad 10 amp fuse with a 30 amp, and it was working fine, then I went and got a 10 amp fuse to put back in where i had the 30 amp. When I put a 10 back in it, it started smoking and smelled like wire burning. The next day my truck wouldn't crank, it won't do anything. It still smells like burnt wire, I checked the starter the battery, and I even replaced all the fuses and it still won't crank. I really don't know what else to do any advice would help out.
My car has 219000 miles.
