    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Fusebox Upgrade

  • Thread starter Thread starter JStones
  • Start date Start date
Just a reminder, when you are doing any voltage drop test, the normal current needs to be flowing in the circuit. You are measuring the voltage required to cause the current to flow through the connection between the fuse and fuse clip. Since we don't want any work to be done in forcing current through that "circuit" there should be no voltage drop (no voltage lost).

For example, if checking the headlight fuse, have the key on and the headlight on high beam because that creates the largest load (most current/amps.)

If voltage is measured it means that we are doing work to cause current flow so heat will be produced there, both of which are not good. Any voltage lost there is subtracted from the total voltage available to cause current flow in that circuit. Ideally, we want to see all the voltage applied to the headlight but we can work to more specific tests.

Testing your fuses for voltage drop is both a good precaution against failures due to heating and good practice.

I got the fusebox switched over and added a 12 Volt outlet. I have 2 fuses available for additional mods in the future. Very happy with the switch. Thank you for all of your help Steve.
