    OK, I’m going to ask this knowing I may embarrass myself, but I got to know, how do you warm up the electronics??

    lol, you might embarrass Ron instead of yourself, but he's used to that :grin:

    I'm thinking what he meant was to pause the key at the on position before continuing on to the start position?? to let some of the stuff start before firing everything else? Usually powering something results in a momentary power surge which is more than steady state running. So... if you spread that out??

    I have no clue but I wasn't going to ask either haha. (The wire or fuse burns up so you need larger gauge wire. good enough). and heh, go easy on Ron, he's been breathing meth lab gas for some time now.

    hhahahahaha nice dave!!! i usually start my car by turning to the on position, letting the fuel pump do its little "buzz" thing, and then start the car. I also like to listen to make sure the water pump for my air/water cooler is also running....... my nightmare would be to have that pump crap out one day and me not know it......spend a day driving the car without cooling the air out of the blower and i would be added to this "blown motor list" as well!! lol

    Not if you had an EGT gauge. How's that going?

    Thanks Dave, I was thinking that maybe what Ron was doing by warming up the electronics, but you never know being that close to a meth lab.

    Guys if you are killing BAP's fuses you need to re do the install and wire it correctly.

    Something you can look into a thermal resetting fuse as well. Once it cools down it will reset and you are good to go.
