rubbernutz1 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) not sayin that this is what it is but it looks like a bad connection maybe in the wire ring. id personally just ditch the fuse between the alt and battery if your just running a stock alt Edited June 24, 2011 by moonweezle9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) did you have to drill out that ring terminal to fit on that stud? i ask because there is always a lip left over that i file back down flat. i could see a bad connection happening if someone didnt knock that down. that side of the fuse block looks really close to that metal thing above it. are you sure it couldnt be bouncing up into it? the fuse block looks to be on sheet metal. is there any chance the bottom of that stud could be reaching the sheet metal? maybe only arcing through the paint under a higher load. just a guess on that one. is there a lock washer on that side of the fuse block? the lock washer keeps the nut on tight. without it, the nut could slowly back out and give you the bad connection. also, try smashing the terminal in the vice before soldering. thats what i do. might help, might not. hope something in there helps.

skittlesRgood Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 How does the wire connect to the fuse holder? If it uses a screw type where you just put the wire into it and tighten it, they suck fucking balls cause they tend to heat and melt wire jackets as the wire loosens from slight movements under the hood. Make your own fuse holder or get one that needs a terminal on it and bolts to the fuse rather than inserting it into a hole and using a set screw to hold it. damn, then every amp ive ever used must have a shitty connection. think about it.

deeje Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 did you have to drill out that ring terminal to fit on that stud? i ask because there is always a lip left over that i file back down flat. i could steel a bad connection happening if someone didnt knock that down. No it fit over it brand new. that side of the fuse block looks really close to that metal thing above it. are you sure it couldnt be bouncing up into it? That thing above is plastic and the the whole holder is screwed down plus there was a cover on it. the fuse block looks to be on sheet metal. is there any chance the bottom of that stud could be reaching the sheet metal? maybe only arcing through the paint under a higher load. just a guess on that one. No there was a bunch of electrical tape and goop on the underside. is there a lock washer on that side of the fuse block? the lock washer keeps the nut on tight. without it, the nut could slowly back out and give you the bad connection. Yeah there was a lock nut under the terminal above it and above the fuse. also, try smashing the terminal in the vice before soldering. thats what i do. might help, might not. Could try that maybe it'll work as of right now I just have a bolt through both terminals holding it together. hope something in there helps.

skittlesRgood Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 is the goop touching the terminal on the underside? maybe its slightly conductive?

P4killer_ Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 its likely something youve overlooked, did you ever try and run a totally new wire with new terms and all? try a dif fuse block, different fuses, it might be the costly option but hey burning up wire as it stands anyway..
