DANGEROUS Aftermarket Fuse Nearly Burns Down Alfa Romeo - Electric Seat Diagnostic

Another week at RMS Diagnostics and we’ve got a proper head-scratcher! This Alfa Romeo came in with a completely dead driver’s electric seat. The customer had already tried swapping multiple components trying to fix the fault themselves - but sometimes throwing parts at a problem just makes things worse!
What we found was genuinely concerning…
The real culprit? A cheap aftermarket fuse that wasn’t blowing at its rated amperage, causing the wiring loom to overheat and burn. This could have been a serious fire hazard!
In this video, you’ll see:
✅ Our systematic diagnostic approach vs. the “parts cannon” method
✅ Complete seat and carpet removal for proper access
✅ Live testing and fault-finding techniques
✅ Wiring loom repair and restoration
✅ SHOCKING comparison between genuine and aftermarket fuses
✅ Why proper fuse ratings matter for safety
The takeaway? Sometimes the cheapest part can cost you the most. This simple fuse issue could have resulted in a vehicle fire, and definitely caused unnecessary expense for the customer who’d already bought parts they didn’t need.
