Q:I turned on my truck the other day and suddenly my radio, dome light and power locks did not work. I wouldn't think all of these would be on the same fuse, but I don't know much about that stuff. Could it be a bad ground wire?

Radio and dome light are commonly on same fuse in many vehicles today. Depending on what you drive, the fuse panel could be at the end of the dash on the driver side (have to have the door open to find it) or under the dash on the driver side, or under the dash on the passenger side. Some vehicles have a secondary fuse block in the engine compartment, but this is not where the radio/dome fuse would be. Good luck in the fuse replacement.

Q:Hey everyone.I have a modest stereo set-up in my car and I am suddenly having problems with a fuse blowing. I have an Alpine head unit, Kenwood amp, and a single 10 Alpine sub. I have had this set up in this car for about a year and a half, and had the same set up in another car for three years before that and never had any problems. Now for the past week, the fuse in the wire running from my battery to my amp keeps blowing. When I replace it, it is good for about 30 seconds, and then it blows. Any advice on where to start troubleshooting?

Start by disconnecting the wire from the amp. Replace the fuse and see if it blows. If it does, there is a short in that wire. Look for somewhere where the wire has rubbed against metal, like where it goes through or around the firewall! If that is not the problem, re-attach the amp power with the amp off! See if the fuse blows! If it doesn't, turn on the amp. What you want to do is continue testing components until you find the problem!

Q:and whats something that you could use to represent fusion( a model of fusion to develop an understanding of fusion)??

Okay once upon a time there was a little boy and a little girl.(aka:two nuclei) They lived next door to each other but there was a fence in between their yards.(Also known as the Coulomb barrier) Because the fence was keeping them apart, they needed a way to get together. So they tried running at the same time full force into the fence to fuse. (aka:beam-beam fusion) but that didn't work so well so they tried burning themselves at a temp of 1GK to increase their energy. Unfortunatly not all little girl and boy nuclei increase energy, while burning a 1gk, some are lower.So they didn't fuse that time either. They are SUPER tired by now, and just don't have very much energy left so what will they try next? Quantum Tunneling! They dig under the fence, and since they have just enough energy to do that together, instead of staying on either side of the fence (or repelling) they fall madly in love and become two people with one name like benifer (they join into multiple nuclei, forming a heavier nucleus) That can only happen if they come into direct contact with one another.Then there is a absorption or release of energy depending on the mass involved. I'm sorry for the crappy story, I'm sure you could spruce it up some if you need to! If you need another model you could use bubbles. The way two separate bubbles will either bind and get larger (fusion) or pop and break apart (neg reaction to barrier or the reaction to being close but not touching). Hope this helps!

Q:I want to add a circuit to my car to hardwire my gps and radar, and to run my rally lights.I have 10 gauge leads with a 30a fuse. I have 3 spst switches to run each. I have the appropraite fuses for each component.so to get to the point, i need to know how, if possible, to wire them in series so the voltage going to each is the same. This is my first time messing wiith electronics, and do i need to add any relays or capacitors?Thanks,Ben

A series circuit is one draw after another. If one doesn#x27;t work none work. Like Xmas tree lights if one goes out the whole string is out. I think you want parallel circuit. One hot lead and separate switches controlling each draw. It would be better to have individual fuses for each accessory. Do have 30 amp fuse on the main hot lead.

Q:helloI was installing a GPS tracker in ford Mondeo so i needed 12+ volt from the car. and I take one from driver side under the plastic that' need to the driver knee. there I found many wires and I found red wire I took the 12v+ from it. but by mistaken that wire touched the car ground and now there's no electricity on it I've checked all fuses under the glove box and all fuses near to the engine and non of them was burned out please what should i do

There must be a blown fuse. The purpose of a fuse is to break the connection if the circuit becomes overloaded, this prevents electrical fires, and other dangerous situations. Blown fuses are not obvious if you just glance at the fuse box, you need to remove them in order to see the conductor. I would look at a wiring diagram, find the components on the diagram that are not working, and trace them back to the fuse number and location. This problem can only be a blown fuse or fuseable link.

Q:I have already checked the fuse and it is fine. If I bought some freon would that maybe get my air back on? If not, any ideas on what else could be be the problem?

Fan motor could be effected by a fruse/relay. If you have this working but still no cold air then you need to recharge your system.

Q:I have a 9-5 SE 2000 that I just bought a little over a month ago and last Friday around 8pm my car alarm triggered for no reason. When I went outside to shut the alarm off with my remote key chain nothing happened, it kept going, rather loud I might add. It didn't matter how many times I locked or unlocked the car the siren kept wailing. When I put the key in the ignition she started but the alarm would stop. Again, I tried multiple times to shut it off with the electronic remote key chain to no avail. Finally after about five minutes later it randomly shut off. Since then I located the fuse for the alarm under the hood and removed it. I think this has solved the problem of alarm going off but it's also shut down the anti-theft system completely. I'm wondering if removing this fuse does any harm to the other electrical components and whether it shuts off the engine immobiliser in addition to the alarm? Now each time I start the car the SID display sends the CHECK THEFT SYSTEM. Advice?

you may not beleive this, but, your alarm systen, is radio controled. The little goody on your key ring is a tiny transmitter.It is on the same band as microwave ovens and cell phones. Some one in your neighborhood, may have been useing their cell fone, and it tripped your alarm. Don't worry about taking the fuse out. It will not hurt any thing. You may want to install a toggle switch under the dash, that will disable the alarm, in case it does it againreplace the flat battery in your key ring controler too.

Q:I also checked the fuses but still no power to the fuel pump and ideas what it might be?

did you check the pump before fitting it, if not get some cable and go from battery to relay and see if the pump runs,if not check by placing temporary wires from pump relay to the pump and trying Again,if still not working temp cable from battery to pump relay then from pump relay to the pump if it works its a short circuit in the cars wiring loom,if it doesn't work then its the relay or pump, if you checked the pump earlier then its the relay at fault,also check the earths (grounding cables) if these are loose of broken then no return means no power,,just to be sure try a fuse that's working another component,of the same rating,in other words just swop the fuses over if they are same rating, and try again,hope this helps and be careful fuel pumps and fuel and sparks can cause fires

Q:i have checked several components and it doesn't start

Have you got air in the fuel system? Did your fuel gel when it was cold? Did you check the air filter?

Q:I recently blew a 25a fuse in a mini fridge which was soldered in. I currently don't have a 25a fuse to replace it with so what would happen if I used a 30a fuse instead?

You need to go get the correct amp fuse for the appliance, If you put a bigger amp in then it is designed to take if something starts to go out in the appliance it wont blow the fuse at the time it is suppose to and could ruin the appliance or catch on fire. Please do not use the larger amp.
