Sorry to bomb the list, but I'm not sure of Jarrid's address.
Jarrid,
I've been having a resistance problem. I have a 60amp fuse in between the
alternator & the ammeter (mainly to protect the ammeter). When I use my
stereo (450 watts) the fuse gets very hot (I have noted molten solder at
one end of the fuse cap) and appears to develop a resistance in the
circuit. The car then dies and no power makes it through the ignition
circuit. All I usually have to do is fiddle with the fuse and connections
immediately surrounding it & the car will start right back up. Should I
just eliminate the fuse altogether? Should I be running a larger gauge
wire due to the high amperage (30+) that the stereo makes the alternator
put out? I am currently running the stock brown alt wire.
