Maybe I can explain it better.
Case 1 Normal, no load
Fuse: Good
Load: None
Circuit voltage: 12v
Voltage across fuse holder: 0v
Light: Off
Case 2 Normal, load on
Fuse: Good
Circuit voltage: 12v
Voltage across fuse holder: 0v
Light: Off
Case 3 Fuse blown or missing, short circuit
Fuse: not functional
Circuit voltage: 0v
Voltage across fuse holder: 12v
Light: On
Case 4 Fuse blown or missing, no short or load
Fuse: not functional
Circuit voltage: 12v
Voltage across fuse holder: 0v
Light: Off
Case 5 Fuse blown or missing, some load
Fuse: not functional
Circuit voltage: undetermined, depends on load
Voltage across fuse holder: undetermined
Light: Undetermined, on for large load, dim or off for small load
This all assumes LED and series resistor wired in parallel with fuse holder.
Hope this explains how this would work.
Waaaaay beyond me???? Or am I the only dummy out there???
