the "cap that holds the fuse in" is almost always part of the electrical circuit.
As such, there won't be any power getting thru without it.

You may end up buying a replacement fuseholder, and just using the screw-cap part. It should be less than $11.
Just be aware that there are several different styles which are (of course) not interchangeable with each other.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/crate-flexwave-amp-head-problem/#post-368864 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/crate-flexwave-amp-head-problem/#post-41719 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 00:24:11 +0000 i used it once at a band practice then i went to use it a gig and it wouldnt turn on, the osund guy diagnosed it and told me the fuse was gone.

after checking the fuse and the cap that held the fuse in were both gone.
I have replaced the fuse but no longer have the cap to hold it in and the head still wont turn on.

i cant think of what the problem could be and would really appreciate any help anyone can give me :)
