Q:i have honda accord 1995lx.i was asked to change the fuse cause the window was not shutting down .I changed it and it worked.but the speedometer was down.the next day,my ignition switch broke down .i think there might be some electric short which damaged the ignition switch.ii replaced iti and it works now.i was wondering whether the electric short can damange the parts or not?will appreciate the response.thanks.

It is possible, but not likely. When the short occurs and the amperage flowing through the fuse reaches it's rating, then the fuse opens and protects the circuit from damage. Everything in that circuit is rated above the fuses blowing point, so no damage should occur to the components

Q:i the wiring going to the fue box bad or is the ecu bad?

Put a fuse that is correctly rated for that slot. Turn the ignition on (engine off) and see if the fuse pops. Right now you may have a short in that system. You need to recreate the situation that popped the fuse in the first place. The only way for wiring to go bad is to draw to many amps through the wires that will in turn, melt the wires. The fuse box is there to protect the vital components of the car. If the mass air flow sensor is not working, the car will not stay running. It will start, but not stay running.

Q:I am trying to repair a fill valve fuse in my maytag washer.

If you use a higher rated amp fuse I think it could catch on fire . Each wire size is only able to carry a given amount of amps. The bigger the wire the more amps and the smaller the wire size number. #14 wire 15amp fuse #12wire20amp fuse #10wire30amp fuse #8 wire40amp fuse. The fuse acts as safety feacher incase the amps are exceeded. The fuse blowes before the isulations on the wire meltes and causes a short .

Q:I have an assignment on 'Electricity in the home'. The part i have to research on is the components of the main eg; main wire, live wire, neutral wire, 3pin plug, fuse, switch.What do these fall under? I cant jus look for main n find these components. I was told its the 'Main Circuit Breaker'. Im lookin for this and non of the components i listed are on the sites. Is there a particular word i have to use. Are there any other components im missing other than the ones listed above?i jus need to write short notes and get some pictures but im not finding any information.

components are: circuit breaker aka MCB circuit breaker box aka distribution panel aka Consumer unit wire of various sizes wire staples outlets switches lights (permanent mounted in ceiling or wall) Parts attached to the appliance, not part of the mains plug wire and the various tools used to put it all together.

Q:I checked all fuses they are ok.

Dodges use a common relay that controls power supply to fuel delivery, spark delivery and other primary operational electrical functions. This relay is called the Auto Shutdown Relay (or ASD relay) and can be found in the Power distribution center. (check your owners manual for component location) I recommend checking the fused power supply to this relay and checking the relay itself for proper operation. A trouble code should also be set in the JTEC controller, which is the primary electronic control module for engine operation)pertaining to the circuit causing the problem. Cylce your ignition key from the off position to the run position 3 times within 5 seconds and then leave the key in the run position on the 3rd cycle. This will prompt a flash code from your check engine light on the instrument cluster. Resources can be found online to diagnose the flash code.

Q:Every morning when I get up, the battery is low. The battery is tested, good. Alternator is tested, and good. Something is shorting causing battery to slowly drain, and I'm about to start pulling fuses over night to get it narrowed down to single circuit if possible.

This may not be much help but I had the same problem with my Escape.After much trouble,I found out the radio was drawing current with the ignition shut down.It was getting hot.You might need to be patient with this and do what you said about pulling a fuse for the night until you narrow it down.For now double check the glove box light and radio.

Q:Hi , I want to know what are the various components which needs to be fitted for putting AC in my non-AC Maruti 800? I want to make sure the mechanic doesn't take me for a ride.

Wow. That's a lot of work and parts. Start with the compressor, which is expensive for an average car, plus condenser, high and low pressure valves, hoses, lines, sensors, expansion valve, and the relay system which will need to be wired into your existing fuse system, which may have to be replaced as well. He'll have to use new parts because old parts from junk cars will have dry rot and corrosion, plus it's not good for AC systems to sit for long periods with no pressure or oil inside.

Q:I'd like to be able to generate significant voltages of DC for experimentation purposes, but so far am having difficulty in creating/sustaining such high voltages. My hope is that the answer may lie in building a voltage multiplier, but I know very little about such technology. It seems I could potentially build one if I knew what components to get and how to configure them. Any help would be appreciated.

Q:I put new fans cooling and ac,, new fan relay. And new tempeture sensor and don't work my ac fan and cooling fan . I check the all fuses are in good condition .,only I have to change the auxiliary switch to see if that is the problem.,

I can't imagine why anyone would replace all these components that are easily tested with a simple test light? For example, you can't be sure of fuses by looking at them. You have to use a test light. You need to start at one end of the flow and work to the other. Might be easiest to start at the radiator temp sensor. If you shunt that, the relay should kick the fan on. If not, then check power to the relay at the relay. And don't forget grounds. For example, power to the fan is not enough. It also much have a good ground connection wire. You can get a test light at a place like Harbor Freight for $1.

Q:Basically The plasma has about 5 or 6 connections in hte back. For soem reason only my a.v. 1 and 2 are working. my Component 1 AND 2 are not. I tried plugging in my sat. dvd player, and axbox. Every time, I can see a picture, and I can hear sound, but the picture is black and white, Like we're in hte 50's! Anyway I was wondering if maybe this is an ongoing problem with other people as well, maybeits a fuse or something in the t.v. I don't know. And before I bring it to a repair man, I thought maybe I can sacve a couple of bucks by asking on here, and doing it my self. Any suggestions??

alot of times people hook up their component cables wrong red, green, blue cables are for video solid red and white are for audio you DO NOT plug in the yellow cord
