skittlesRgood Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I feel like a broken record lol. Check the resistance in your fuses to make sure one isn't blown. Sometimes they have a hairline break that will not necessarily show up when you look at them and testing the fuse by measuring continuity is a great way to ensure the fuse is either complete or broken. it would be good to mention that you shouldnt measure the resistance of the fuses while they are installed. check voltage on every connection first. if you find a dead spot, check the fuse and the actual connections at that terminal. if you dont find a problem, check the resistance of your grounds. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

skittlesRgood Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 what do they read on a meter seperately If I remember correctly from yesterday front was 12.63 and back was 12.8 but the truck was on so that doesn't really count... Like I said I'll be back at it tomorrow and post up typo? If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude.

kickass audio Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 skittles: Care to tell me why you can't test resistance on a fuse that has power? You can test resistance on a live circuit or dead circuit all day as long as you don't complete the circuit. If you wire the meter up in series to the circuit then you will not have problems but if you wire in parallel then you will fry that meter. I've tested my stuff like this the one time I blew a fuse and it looked fine to me and I found the problem instantly and it didnt give me any problems. 2004 GMC Envoy1 XS power S3400 batt under the hood and 4 XS Power D3100's battery installed in the rear by the amps0 gauge power wire from front to backAlpine iva-w205 touchscreen dvd/cd/mp3/ipod/am/fm/gps headunitSundown Audio SAX-200.4 amp for my mids and highs8 gauge speaker wire from amp to woofer270 amp Mechman AltRockford Fosgate T1652-s component speakersRockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 sound processorRca's from Rockford Fosgate and Monster Cable14 gauge speaker wire for the mids and highs1 18" Ascendant Audio SMD Dual 1 ohm with custom Black & Blue carbon fiber and hand signed dustcapBox: 5.66 cubic feet net volume box tuned to 30.13Hz with 1.5" wide wooden dowels and 1.5" thick baffle1 DC Audio 5.0k amp wired to .5 ohms nominal with an imp rise of 1.35 ohms for the single AA SMD 18"Future Vision 8000k 50w bi-xenon projector HID's with 4300k 35w fog lightsLink to my build: Buildupdates/progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tebo Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Found it! I tested before and after each fuse. Everything up front checked out at 14.5. Before and after the back fuse was 12.4 so I known its not a blown fuse just not getting charged. I get under the truck and meter the positive wire about 3 feet from the terminal and what do you know 14.5 volts I'm going to chop the wire and put a terminal on the end to extend it.

kickass audio Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Okay you checked the rear fuse but what about the front one? Im telling you something there is not completing that circuit and its either the ring terminal, fuse terminal, fuse. 2004 GMC Envoy1 XS power S3400 batt under the hood and 4 XS Power D3100's battery installed in the rear by the amps0 gauge power wire from front to backAlpine iva-w205 touchscreen dvd/cd/mp3/ipod/am/fm/gps headunitSundown Audio SAX-200.4 amp for my mids and highs8 gauge speaker wire from amp to woofer270 amp Mechman AltRockford Fosgate T1652-s component speakersRockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 sound processorRca's from Rockford Fosgate and Monster Cable14 gauge speaker wire for the mids and highs1 18" Ascendant Audio SMD Dual 1 ohm with custom Black & Blue carbon fiber and hand signed dustcapBox: 5.66 cubic feet net volume box tuned to 30.13Hz with 1.5" wide wooden dowels and 1.5" thick baffle1 DC Audio 5.0k amp wired to .5 ohms nominal with an imp rise of 1.35 ohms for the single AA SMD 18"Future Vision 8000k 50w bi-xenon projector HID's with 4300k 35w fog lightsLink to my build: Buildupdates/progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'm just one of those people that do not fuse the run from front to back to eliminate as many possible cuts in the wire and increased resistance, having done the fuse in front and rear once upon a time only to have the fuse holder melt from excessive heat generated from a loose connection i take all the precautions necessary to keep that run of wire safe. I guess it all comes down to each persons personal preference on what they consider as a safe way to do what is needed. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
