Hi All- The 5 amp circuit breaker in my Forney that protects the interior lights - the map and hat lights - will reliably pop within a few minutes after I turn either (or both) of those lights. I had my mechanic look at it, and he said: 1. He couldn't find any wiring problems, 2. This 5A breaker also protects the nav lights, which represent a load of about 8 amps (not including the interior lights)! A 5A breaker protecting an 8A+ load seems a little dodgy, but I'm not entirely comfortable just dropping in a higher-current breaker either. Can anybody out there tell me if this is the normal wiring arrangement (nav lights and interior lights on the same breaker) and, if so, what the breaker's current rating should be? Thanks much.
