I keep blowing my gauge light fuse!!!! argggg
ok I've hooked up two gauges to my turn signal light, it's a 10 amp and it's blown twice with in seconds, so I put a 20 amp in and it blew in a few more seconds. I'm alreay using my cigarette lighter, so that's out of the question. what should I do?
Run an inline fuse to the gauge itself. Connect it to one of the extra non fused connectors in the fuse box. I'd probably connect it straight to a 12v source and check how many amps it's drawing to determine what fuse size to go with.
I wouldn't really trust little 18ga wires for something that is drawing 10 amps (or whatever). Just run a clean fresh source from your battery, clean ground source to the vehicle chassis. Sometimes the clean way is the way you need to be going with.
There are many wiring options you can do, wire up a new fuse box if that's what you really want. I'm sure the problem at hand is a fualty ground or stripped wire. Get to chasing.
