I have a strand(severeal really) of those outside icicle
Christmas lights, and the plug in has 2 3 amp fuses in
them. I have replaced both fuses, and still doesn't work.
Is there a real harm in just replacing the plug in with a
standard non-fused plug-in? Will it really heat up and
catch fire???? just wondering Thanks in advance



Yes.
Yes.

Hi,
Well then something i shorting out. If it is multiple short strings
connected in series, you'll have to disconnect them and try one string
at a time until you find a culprit. Or careful visual inspection on
wires or lamps will rewveal something.
