STEvil Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 might have pinched the wire when it tore the coating off. Give it a good inspection, if its broken just cut it then get some heatshrink for 0 guage and a butt-connector. Shouldnt be more than $10 I would think. Would be a good idea to crimp the connector, can get all the parts from a local large electrical store and they might even lend you the crimper.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

The best fix would be new wire though, but if you don't have enough monies, use this method^ Quote My RE MT 18" wall build Former build, farewell beloved wall.In progress, Toyota Starlet build This forum has a massive boner for ridiculous electrical upgrades.

cracker Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Am I the only one who thinks this is a really bad idea? the wire parching? ha id say replace it, easy and most effective as far as the messed up wire goes. then you will really see if its the prob and it needs to be done anyways Quote March 2010 SOTM winner my old buildhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/50219-dank-aka-crackers-bonne-new-v2-build-in-the-works-hahahaaaaaa/page__hl__crackers my youtube page - http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=jackiedan04#g/u my feedback - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/56540-official-cracker-feedback/ i need tacos and bass to live!!!!! and will NEVER change hahaaaa TEAM NOIZE VIOLATION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnewell2004 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 It is the wire. I climbed under today and checked it with a multimeter. More than half of the wire has been grinded off and it's all corroded and crap. Don't know how ima fix it yet. I can't afford a 15' strand of 0G due to the fact I don't have a job. So I'll figure something out. Thanks to eveyone. Quote Them: "Why does my amp keep cutting out?" Me: "What is your ohm load?" Them: "What's an ohm load?"
