Speaking of breakers / fuses, if any of you have ANYTHING AT ALL in you electrical system that is not on a fuse / breaker, I wouldn't fly again until it is corrected. I spent 12 to 14 hours last week re-wiring a tug at the local airport. Over the years it had gotten worked on, modified, changed, to the point that the rear headlights were basicly wired directly to the battery through a switch. A 12G wire got pinched under a rear cover and that 12G wire not only burnt itself up but also took out every wire that was in a bundle with it from the rear to the front of the tug. The operator was lucky as he had a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. If that happened in a KR at altitude, you could easily be toast before you got it on the ground.
