a term known as "open circuit blow" - one theory could be, You had a phase wire rub thru some where to the body of the car, makes a blow, but now is "open circuit" so when you replace the fuse - the fuse don't blow and still your lights won't work......test the phase cable from point a to b if it comes up continuous, rule out "open circuit blow"
