[Johnson] Fuse Blowing Ranger solved

[Gary Schafer]

I can tell you for a fact, that if all you did was reverse the line plug and
now it works, you still have problems. Very serious problems!!

It should not blow a fuse no matter which way the plug is plugged in.

Something on one side of the line has a dead short to the chassis. I would
fix it before plugging it in again as if you don't happen to have the
chassis connected to some ground you will get shocked.
