Q:I have an 85 Mustang 5.0 convertible. one day, the stereo stopped working. At the same time, the fuse for the gas door, courtesy lamp and key warning buzzer blew (one fuse). If i try to put a fuse in, it just blows. Does anyone have an idea of where the short could possibly be? or can a component on that circuit fail and cause a short?

If the an aftermarket radio was installed, the wiring may of been done using just electircal tape, as some fly-by-night people do. Over time the wires may become loose, and hit a ground. Take the radio out and look to see.

Q:I have a Polk Audio MOMO C400.4 that im planning to use to power my MOMO 6x5 components and MOMO 6x9's @ 75w RMS x 4. I also have a Kenwood KAC-7202 that i plan on running bridged which will pull 460w RMS @ 4 ohms. What size fuze will I need for 4 gauge wire? I have a 4AWG wire with a Rockford Fosgate distribution block that splits from 4AWG to 8AWG with AGU fuses on it, unknown size Would I still need a inline fuse to the battery?

The fuse near the battery is more important than the d-block fuses. One amp is 60A, the other's 40A - so logically you'd want a 100A fuse at the battery and a 60/40 in the d-block. 4 awg main and 8's out should be fine assuming you only have a few feet from the d-block to the amps.

Q:I'm getting a MA audio hk898 ampit says 1200 RMS bridged at 2 ohms, but its got 2 40 amp fuses, what can those fuses actually hold when it comes to watts, just curious.

i would guess it only hold up for 1200 watts. ive got a sony xplod 1200w with 2 40 amp fuses and when i had the sub wires bridged it overloaded the amp and one of the fuses kept popping out, it never blew but jus popped out enough for the subs to stop working

Q:I am looking for an electronic store that could resemble JK Electronics and Torrance Electronics that have a wide assortment of AC transformers, diodes, bridge rectifiers, Digital to analog converters, several types of capacitors, inductors, led's, resistors, fuses and stuff along these lines for small projects from school. I tried several Radio shacks and they just don't have the type of components I need for my projects.Its hard for me to get to these stores because I live far from them. If anyone knows of such store near Lakewood or Long Beach I would really appreciate it.Thanks

Shelter/rescue. Long Beach is a big place and has both. Look in your phone book, or contact your vet.

Q:I changed the bulb cause it was blown, checked the fuse but nothing. Is there another fuse or a seperate fuse for each reverse light. And where can i find a new board?

if it is a manual trans, check the wires that plug into the reverse light switch, located on the trans just above the starter, they tend to break since the harness is pulled pretty tight

Q:Hi I never used the cigarette lighter in my Lexus es300 1993. . i recently bought a car cell phone charger and it doesn't work. I pushed in the cigarette lighter and it did not heat up. I replaced the fuse and it doesn't work.any suggestions will helpthanks so much,ALex, nyc

there should be another fuse box next to the motor under hood on right side i think,check them i think your supposed to unhook your battery for this but you can call your local auto parts store and ask them they will be able to tell you

Q:a. short circuit b. series circuitc. switch d. parallel circuit e.fuse f. electric power

Answer b) A series circuit only has one possible path for the electrons to move.

Q:Car blows fuse constantly that allows u to get it out of park.Changed fuse from 15amp to 20.lasted almost 2 weeks and now blowing the fuse againBrakes still work when this happens and they light up.Turn signals do not work when this happens

Some where in the circuit for the D range in you car is a short to ground weather it be right after the shifter all the way down to one of the solenoids in the transmission shift assembly? If you can find the short it'll fix right away? Have it scanned for trouble codes this might help find it? But major don't increase the fuse size this is extremely bad it will cause the wire the harness or the component it's attached to to receive vary high current this will cause the for mentioned things to burn and fail this could cause a 50-60$ repair to be at worst a 2-3000$ dollar reapir

Q:After the 360 died a few times, I went and picked up a Ps3 and bought component cables, after hooking them in and playing Assasins creed i hit start to go back to try something else, then saw a flash (something white that was big then went small very quick) and the screen turned black.after trying to turn it on or off it does nothing not even soundIs it time for a new tv to?Tv is only 10 months old
