I'm going to have several electrical questions. 1st, Is pin #8, on the 14 pin plug at the relay board, the only switched 12v+ source in the engine compartment? TIA, Kent

Good find. That looks like a cheap QC connector. The melted one looks to be a bit bend top to bottom. You can replace the fuse carrier with a high quality fuse carrier like this one from Jegs:
Jegs Your resistance numbers look a bit high. Did you zero your meter by touching the 2 leads together and noting the resistance? Subtract the shorted-leads resistance from your measurement. Accurately measuring resistance in the sub 1 ohm region is difficult. Lots of times you'll have up to 1 ohm in the leads. |

Did not know about that. Thx. Could have been the Chinese VOM, as well. I had it out because it's my only meter that measures DC amp. I'll get my Fluke out to check ohms next time. You know, this electrical stuff is getting interesting! Thx Spoke. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
