Fuse issue

I thought my CO detector was bad so I replaced it. I didn't take a picture of the writing before hand (my mistake). When I wired it back up, the CO alarm didn't work, neither did the radio. The fuse box also shows that the fuse for the bathroom is bad (not sure what I'm the is on the 15 amp fuse). I tried replacing them with no change. Does anyone have any things to try? How is that CO detector supposed to be wired up?Click image for larger version

Looks like the detector is wired correctly. If you have a multimeter you can verify that you have power at the connections.

What happens when you replace the fuses? Do they blow immediately or do they last a few seconds?

I don't think it is blowing the fuses. I took out the fuses that were "blown" and also took out one other. The light for the one I took out didn't come on.

I'll test with a multimeter after work.

Those LED lights next to the fuses are blown fuse indicators. If the fuses are good then you could have bad connection(s) on the fuse holders. It could be cracked solder joints where the holder is mounted to the board.

I think it is fixed. I replaced the fuse (for the 100th time) and it seems to have worked. I'm not sure why the fuses worked on other locations but oh well.

It's probably not relevant but....When you bought the co detector, was it a direct replacement for the old one?

Typically the item protected by the fuse has to be on for the light to illuminate when the fuse is blown/removed.
