James,

You KNOW those solenoids are high failure items and you KNOW fuses don't blow for no reason at all. Playing Mr. Nice Guy is a setup for "It's doing the same thing again." scenario.

Personally, I would let your experience speak and tell him what you would do if it were your vehicle. I call it the Jiminy Cricket principle of "Let your conscience be your guide." I would have absolutely no qualms about selling the customer what needed to be sold to keep that fuse from blowing again. (and you know it will)

Just my opinion...
