If my vehicle throws a fault from me playing around with some fuses and I find and clear these faults with Forscan is there a log of faults still that can be found or is that cleared as well?
Thanks.

My experience is that it depends.
Simple faults once cleared are gone.
Complex/serious faults might take several successful drive cycles before they are cleared out and don't get reported anymore. Clearing the MIL in this case just turns the dash light off but the code remains until the ECU is happy the issue is resolved.
I have a few different scanners and some seem to be report more than others, too.
