Q:I just fixed a problem where the 120 amp fuse was blowing due to short in alternator. Now, every time I connect the battery cables, the 10 amp room lamp fuse is blowing instantly. Help please.

Why would you replace a 13 amp fuse with a 3 amp one. If the lamp is rated for 13 amps, 3 amps will not work. Obviously the lamp is using much more than 3 amps. Put the 13 amp fuse back in. There probably is nothing wrong with the bulb.

Q:Hi. I recently had my 2.7L engine rebuilt on my 04 Santa Fe. I've got a problem with my radio now. Most times it wouldn't work. I checked all fuses, their good. The only way that I would get it to work is if i remove the fuse corresponding to the radio and put it back in. The radio would work as long as the car is on. If i turn the engine off, I'd have to do the same thing with the fuse to get the radio to work again. I'm guessing it's either a shortage somewhere or something's grounded. Any ideas on this problem? or where should I start looking? Thanks All.

The radio has a second fuse for memory, although it is used by other components so you would notice that worth a second look though! Check all the fuses with a lest light or a volt meter, if they're all are ok then its likely your radio, they are rather problematic

Q:Basicly I took my car to a mechanic to get a new clutch. I know that they took the battery out in order to do the job. Soon after I got my car back the subs stopped working. I took alook at all the audio components and wiring earlier today and notice that the fuse sized 40 was blown. I am talking about the fuse right next to the battery leading to the amp. I replaced it but it blew out shortly after again. The mechanic said its not his problem and now I am on here on yahoo looking for a solution. Can some one tell me were I should start looking. Thank you very much!

Remove or check that whole wire from one end to the other and see if its shorting out on something.

Q:Honda accord LX 2003 ac and wiper refuse to work.

Check the fuse relay that's related to those circuits.If they are not blown,its either a problem in the wiring harness going to the wiper switch or ac clutch switch ac compressor switch,the switch itself like the multifunction switch that controls the wiper,,or its something wrong with the actual components that the fuse and relay powers such as the wiper motor or ac compressor.If the ac wiper button are on the same control panel,the panel itself is probably faulty if fuses are ok

Q:Every time I buy a little figurine or annual ornament, I am amazed at how crystal clear the glue is that holds the crystal together.Anyone know what kind of glue that is or what kind you think it might be?

As a bead artist, I don't know what they use in manufacturing their pieces, but I do know they advise the use of epoxy if you're planning on creating pieces using their components! A two-part epoxy, as they suggest, will give you an incredible bond that can withstand most anything, and it does dry clear! I hope this helps!

Q:I thought that it might the belt.Popped the topThe belt is attached to the drumActually the belt is fused on to the drumIs that OK ?What's my next step in trying to fix this thing?Thanks for your time

I can't imagine the belt fusing to the drum unless the motor died and the stationary drum heated up and melted the belt, but this seems unlikely because usually when a main component fails, most dryers are designed to stop working completely. Barring some sort of safety feature override with a jumper wire that bypasses the safety feature that would remove the power flow through all components as soon as a motor or heater core overloads. Once an overload condition cycles a shutdown, nothing else should work as this is designed to prevent the dryer from overheating and causing a house fire.

Q:If I remove the fuse for my check engine light on my 95 tercel will it affect any other components

go to a shop and have them see what the problem is by checking the computer

Whilst I don't know anything about THAT bike, I will let you know that I commute on a bike with a similar spec. It's fine - go with it! I agree with the first poster, in that a groupset upgrade would outweigh the cost of the bike. Stick with it and just tweak a few bits n bobs, as and when required(tyres,etc) If I assume that you intend to join the world of 'roadies' then in 18 months or so upgrade your bike and you will notice a big difference and improved performance. Best of luck. .

Q:Hi, I've had a lot of problems with my bike and I know I need a new one. Don't need to be told that. I own a 2005 R50x 50cc scooter. On my way home, the lights went off and the 'dash' went off including the rpm gauge. The horn, starter and full beam still work though. The fuse is fine and it isn't the battery. If anyone has a clue please let me know and the location of the components that may be affected. FYI, all the electrical bits are in the front not under the seat. Many thanks

Without a wiring diagram, I can only speculate. The ignition switch might have a seperate circuit for the items not working. Using a test light, check for batterry voltage at each component. Trace each wire back to a wire they all have in common. Figure out why that wire isn't getting power.

Q:Hey i just bought a van for travling and i was wondering what can i run off a 12 volt power point?? kettle ' fan ect.

you should be able to run anything that does not exceed the amperage rating of the fuse for the power point this is usually about 10-15 amps, depending on the vehicle and what other components this fuse controls. If we consider that wattsvoltage x current that means that you should be fine with anything that is rated at under 120-180 watts or a combination of things (using a splitter) totaling less than that. Find the fuse that controls your power power point, and look at its amperage rating. I would assume that this fuse also controls other components as well (dome lights, etc.). Multiply its amperage by twleve and that is the MAXIMUM number of watts that can be used on that circuit. Since this represents the maximum number of amps possible on the circuit (and probably would result in a blown fuse) dont pick an appliance that matches the wattage number you calculate or you will overload the circuit and blow a fuse. Other than that you can use just about anything that meets these requirements.
