[QUOTE="maylar, post: 99310, member: 541144"] Charge the cap after you install it. It's safer that way: Take the main fuse out of your system. Connect your cap and secure it, etc. Then put a test light (12V) across the fuse holder - basically replacing the fuse with a light bulb. The bulb will be bright at first, then as the cap charges the light gets dimmer. When the bulb goes off, the cap is charged and you can put the fuse back in. The system must be off during this procedure or the cap will never charge. [/QUOTE]
