Good Idea and you can go even farther and use an Ohm meter on the fuse socket before putting the new fuse in to check if it's gonna blow the fuse again. If resistance is too low on the meter in reference to chassis ground and then apply the good old ohm's law with 14vdc from the battery you can figure out why it's pulling too much current to blow the fuse. Or perhaps it's blowing the fuse after it get's hot or engine warms up.......... good luck to ya
