    @Jimmyh you're overthinking the point of the joke.

    No software/firmware changes will blow those 2 fuses. There is some gaps in this story

    Only 1 fuse blew. The am2 fuse.
    It is possable I somehow blew this fuse while I was frantically trying to get my truck running again. I'm not sure. The only gaps in the story is the things that I'm not sure about or dont know.

    Anything is possible. I'd venture to say that 1/3 of blown fuses, if not more, are from the fixing process. I know I have lost my fair share to friendly fire.
