Q:I bought a Yamaha subwoofer from some dud for $40 and the little red and black things don't workthe subwoofer has built in power and umm I tried plugging in 2 different speakers and they don't work.the hole to put in(red n black) is this screw and I'm guessing you put in the output right? is there anyway to fix this?model no. is YST-SW150

Take the bass driver out of the cabinet, take a flash light and look inside to see if you can see any lose wires, or damage if you do see lose wires solder those wires back where they belong reassemble the unit and try it outif there is something else wrong and there are no lose wires, you may have to replace a resistor or relay or it could be a fusedownload a service manual from the Internet and use that to find the fusecheck all components for damage or leakage.if you find something that looks blotted or is leaking look in the service manual for the proper value buy a replacement part of same value and replace it.but just try replacing the fuse firstfuses come in all sizes and shapes so sometimes you cannot tell where it is just by looking

Q:and also please note some useful web site in this field !

I migth add ground fault detectors and lightingrods

Q:I had the fuse break on a Joker 200 light, but I don't know what could cause a surge of electricity (no lightning storm at the time). If it matters, it could have been on the same line as a coffee maker/toaster/microwave. Please help me out. Thanks!

The main component in the ballast is a large inductor, and if a turn gets shorted, it will draw high current. Suspect the ballast. Also, with a coffee maker and a microwave, the total current could be too high for the circuit breaker.

Q:Any help greatly appreciated. So I drive a 2005 Chrysler 300. 3.5l v6. I have strange headlight and tail light issues. Mind you there are what I believe aftermarket LED halo style headlights in the front. Tail lights are from 300c hemiFirst of all my #8 fuse [15 amp] is repeatedly blowing for no appearant reason. A Working fuse gives me the fancy blue halos, orange lamps, 3 small LED's and my normal beams. As well as proper running tail lights for the back and a responsive light switch to turn them off and on. . When the fuse blows I'm left with no lights other than my normal beams up front. No tail lights. Yet when the fuse IS blown I press the break and all my tail lights come on [all reds, and yellow blinker lights both constant. Yellow lights don't blink] and a glitchy light switch. NOW aside from all of that. My bottom left fog light does not work. The bulb looks un damaged. Any help greatly appreciated

Hi i would be surprised if anything worked the Body module that other computer which works with the engine management system is confused now.

Q:i have a 97 toyota camry and this fise keeps blowing in my car its is a 10A fuse and the fuse says 30 on it when it blows the car battery jus dies fast and over time like i will turn on the windhild wippers and the cd player will turn off i replaced the fuse 9 times and they all blown the last 1 i put in lasted for about 3 days but now they jus keep blwong what could be the problem please help me.

Sounds like you have a bad ground wire in that harness. A bag ground requires more positive power draw (through the fuse and electrical componet) to jump the bad connection on the other ground side. It will only get worse as the jump sparking increases on the grounding side of the component. You need someone to go through and OHM out all of your ground connections in that area.

Q:Have 2 12 Rockford T2s, running off the t2500, distribution block to pdx-f6 amp running 4 alpine type x components. So all up, 2800 rms. Maybe 3500 input?Was looking between the rockford RFK1 or the Stinger SK6201, The rockford comes with a 100a fuse and the stinger comes with 300a. Which would be better or is there others i should look at?

a lot of the 0 awg wiring kit comes with either 100 or 150 ANL fuse, because is cheapest one to give it out for free. For real, some of the expensive wiring kit might come with something like 250 to 300 amp fuse, I would just get the cheapest wiring kit but got be at 0/1 awg wire, and replace the fuse itself.

Q:I have a 1987 ninja 750. i bought it and it turned on with an old battery but needed to be jumped to start. i bought a new battery . a duralast the one you add the acid in and charge. but now it wont turn on. a battery before that i added a new battery but i mixed up the terminals (pos on neg and neg on pos) did that mess up the electrical stuff or fuses or am i doing something wrong. hope to hear some help.

james is right you MUST have blown a fuse or two and a blown fuse will keep electricity from getting to any thing and everything so double check all of your fuses and uhhh do something about your terminals i am hoping the reason you mixxed them up is because they arent marked and so you should mark them so you dont take a chance of doing even more damage

Q:I had my brother wash my car and he put a hose to the engine compartment and by the time i saw him he had wet everything under the hood. I turned the car on and it started/ran just fine, the display was on but all went dark after about 30 seconds or so. Its been 3 days and still dark. What do i do? It has a 5.7 liter 350 V8, TBI.

Replace fuses When water comes in contact with a electrical component bad things can happen.

Q:I found a 2x12 Line Six Spider III amp for sale, the vendor claims that it can be fixed by installing fuses. Does this mean that the current fuses are blown, or that it never came with fuses? In the former case, how would I be able to tell if the fuses are blown, or if it only needs new fuses and there's not some other underlying issue?

Ripley, the Line 6 tube amplifiers can have both externally-accessible and internal fuses. A fuse can blow from a voltage spike, or from malfunctioning internal components; it is there to protect circuitry from further damage. Merely replacing a fuse without understanding the underlying causes for failure is just a temporary solution, which at best may only delay the need for further repairs or replacements. If you are really interested in the amplifier, see if the seller will let you take it to a dealer for evaluation. For a modest cost, you will get the complete answer, and maybe save yourself some heartache. Best regards, Dana

Q:I have a 2004 Dodge, Durango. It has the stock 6 disc stereo, DVD, Sirrus combo. One of the kids left the light on one night and we had to jump-start the car. Since then the CD player will not work. Everything else works just fine. It is like the CD player doesn't exist. Has anyone else had this happen? Does anyone know how to fix it? I know i could take it to the dealer and they could probably fix it for a marginal fee. I was trying to avoid that route if I could. I am mechanically inclined so if it can be fixed I could probably do it. If it is something that is actually broken, I guess I am SOL.

There are 3 greater subject concerns to contemplate and a couple of conceivable concepts i can think of of. a million. it could be well worth at the same time as checking if the amp is in working order. in the experience that your battery remains being drained on a low point of music then attempt working this amp in yet another automobile. it must be the amp at fault! 2. it must be the tip of the battery existence. I as quickly as had a collection up and the battery have been given drained. I replaced the battery and by no ability had a situation lower back. 3. there's a short someplace else interior the vehicle, in specific situations wires can come aside or make touch with yet another floor to empty. conceivable concepts if the amp isn't at fault: a million. Uprate the battery and alternator in case you often crank. you may want a deep cycle battery including an Optima yellow authentic. 2. the great 3: This includes 3 wires. a) 8awg minimum floor from battery to physique (bare metallic) b) 8awg minimum floor from alternator to physique c) 8awg minimum from alternator beneficial to beneficial on battery See how that is going!
