[QUOTE="EvOLuTNMotORs, post: 842793, member: 560010"] what i would do [B]FIRST[/B] is basic electrical troubleshooting. [B]LOOK FOR A DAMAGED COMPONENT OR A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM !!!!!![/B] blowing a fuse usually means these are one of the factors. check all of your connections, i have had people come to me with home jobs and had connectors close enough to cause arcing, prompting fuses to blow. just keep things like this is mind when troubleshooting. if there is a serious problem and all you do is upgrade fuses you will do more harm than good, because you are now letting the fault continue for a longer period of time. this can cause excessive electrical and component damage (failure) fires etc....remember your components are are designed and protected by rated fuses for a purpose (protection) of the circuit. i think you should troubleshoot more and isolate the problem and correct it (not upgrade fuses). [B]1 look for pinched wires[/B] [B]2 burn marks caused by arcing[/B] [B]3 exposed wires[/B] [B]4 strength of connections made (no loose splices, etc...)[/B] it's time consuming but very effective [/QUOTE]
