I've had the exact same problem with a bad wire.  It shows the proper 
voltage, but whatever it's supposed to run simply doesn't run.  The 
problem, of course, is that the wire or fuse or whatever is barely 
making contact, so it shows the voltage but cannot carry sufficient 
current.  These can be extremely frustrating problems to diagnose.

I agree with Mike that replacing the ceramic fuses with glass ones isn't 
worth the trouble, but are there other alternatives?  Do the Pantera 
vendors make a form, fit, and function replacement for the Pantera fuse 
block that uses modern fuses?  And as long as I'm demanding answers from 
everyone, why don't they make little circuit breakers for automotive use 
instead of fuses?
