blown fuses and circuit breaker

[Willkas 10+ year member]

i had 2 30v fuses in my amp, and im guessing 100amp circuit breaker under the hood. was working normally,

today i saw the fuses were blown, and looked under the hood and also saw that the circuit breaker was blown. how can this happen?

is it possible water could do it because it was raining...........

check your power wire i would think water would do that just make sure that the fuse holder under the hood is fine. when put your power wire in the holder no lose wire should be left for water to get on.

i use a circuit breaker, not a fuse block, the fuse block only holds a regular fuse, the circuit breaker is a big fuse, and the circuit breaker, is blown. the fuse inside which i can see right thru is blown. i hav eno clue how it happened

make sure your ground isnt touching your power wire in any possible way or power wire/ chasias... if the main wire is going into the firewall.. make sure the metal hasnt rubbed through the covering of the main wire

water alone doesnt sound like it hsould do this... the problem is somewhere else.. even if the water possibly set it off

Did you jump start you car?

A circuit breaker should not have a fuse either..

not water untless there was a direct flow of current from supply to ground.

It would have had to be sitting in a puddle enough to touch both terminals or there would have had to be a drip of water crossing the terminals. check wires at terminals for frays and what not.

A circuit breaker, that's not a fuse block, that has a fuse?
You obviously dont have a circuit breaker, nor do you know what one is.
