so are the wires live when they reach the zig? have you had a meter across them? are you sure it's not the zig that has popped a fuse?

Its a box for turning big house wiggly amps into little caravan wiggly amps so they can fit down the wires better.........simples.

Zig was a brand but its also a short word thats easy to remember.

Dont you know anything

thanks mates; after re checking the feeds i had a look inside at the back of the fuses it looks like the fuse holder had been twisted and the wire had slipped out of previos repair block now on to the faulty fridge.
