The Ridgeline comes with a spare fuse, but now I have a few with me and I open the fuse box to check the fuse once in a while while traveling.

The same fuse in my truck blew once when I was fairly new to trailering and would occasionally partially insert the Bargman plug upside down before realizing my mistake. It was raining heavily when I was hooking up. I do not think that the plug can be fully inserted if upside down, but perhaps water on the plug allowed the ground terminal on the plug to make contact with the 12V terminal on the truck's socket, which I think would blow the fuse.
