Fischer Panda control panel fuse blows

[bichobola]

Hello!
Please I need some help with my fischer panda 4500. I had some problem with the alternator and have a 15Volts to charge batteries. Since then, the control panel doesn't run. It has a 630mA 250V fuse behind the control panel. I have replaced it but it blows every time.
Does anybody knows what to do?

Just to add that I have measured with a multimeter the incoming energy in the control papel and is: 400mA. I don't understand why a 630mA fuse is blowing everytime in just a second.

Cut a bit of fencing wire to length and fit it. Problem fixed!

Thanks, but I don't dare to do that because it would probably damage the control panel. The fuse is there to protect the circuit, isn't it?

Doing something stupid like using fencing wire could probably start a fire and destroy the boat. (That wouldn't be very clever would it?)

Maybe you should phone Fisher Panda ( call 800.508.6494) to see if they can help you.............

For future reference:
I had the same problem and I contacted the original poster to see if he'd found a fix and this was his response:

"I sent it to repair to a electronical shop from a friend on Spain. He found a broken component and changed It. I think it was a resistance, very cheap. Now it works everything except the screen. For me it was ok, he advised me that if I wanted to repair also the screen, maybe I had to buy a new panel. Nevera had a problem since then."
