thinking about it Tek may have a point , a speaker wire earthing out to the body work, stereo , stereo cage , or even the other speaker wire can be enough to stop a stereo working. Quickest test is to pull the speaker wire connections off the back of the stereo and see if its still a case of ' lights on and nobody home ' ... ( sounds a bit like chef lol! )

So what do you think the issue was?

fook knows I will test the stereo on the bench tomorrow with no speakers ect attached to see what happens it could be a short somewhere of just the Chinese stereo past it now

still popping 80amp fuses!

so run a new beefier charge cable with 100amp mega fuse to battery tonight lets see what happens

Hmm , I'd be worried you are going to fry something if you already have an 80 amp fuse blowing! Think you need to find what the 80 amp fuse is actually supplying, as if that supllies your ecu or other micro circuited component , think with a 100amp fuse you can kiss it goodbye!

#1459 by 123hotchef , Fri Oct 12, 2018 8:01 pm

it is the main incoming feed from alternator it supplies the whole fuse box! anyway the new alternators are mostly 90amp if 90amps are drawn it will blow a 80amp fuse

#1460 by ronniecabers , Fri Oct 12, 2018 8:06 pm

yeah but i'd still be worried something else is going to get fried. Have you checked the actual wiring? Maybe you've got a chaffed wire thats earthing out and causing the fuse to blow

#1461 by 123hotchef , Fri Oct 12, 2018 8:11 pm

yeh checked loads of wires lol! I just got a new clamp on meter that can measure DC amps so I will get testing just to see what the alternator is outputting

#1462 by ronniecabers , Fri Oct 12, 2018 8:12 pm
