Default 5 amp fuse in Carrier heat pump blows

I had to replace my circuit board due to it being fried. I determined
the reason it got fried was due to it having a 10 amp fuse installed
instead of a 5 amp. I labeled all the wires as I removed them from the
board just to make sure not to get the crossed in the reinstalling. Now
the 5amp fuse on the ICB in the air handler blows as soon as I apply
power. I have tried to ring the wires but I really do not know which
wires should ring to each other or if none should ring together at all.
Any one have any advice?

Hi,
I suspect your orignal problem was not in the logic board.
Wrong fuse cooked it and the problem remains. If you keep trying
without finding out, you may blow replacement board too or it is
already cooked(or partially) as well.
Usually when you replace borad like this you move over wires one by one
between two boards. You really needs a schematics for trouble-shooting.
And must have a DVM or good analog multi-meter.(careful with this around
IC chips)
Good luck,
