Fuse keeps blowing

Hi lads just wondering if anyone can shed some light on my problem.
I've a 15amp fuse that keeps popping, just wondering would this because of the
alternator acting up too. :dontknow:
 
Ya need to test the circuit, it must be earthing at some point if the fuse keeps popping.

This can be down to a pinched wire earthing off the body or some fault with any number of electrical components.

What does the fuse power?
 
Hi Phil

Had a feeling you'd be the man to answer this for us :thumbsup:
I'll take a picture of the fuse cover and put it up later its in Japanese :wall:
Hopefully you might know.

Thanks

Martin
 
Checked the fuse layout(thanks Jamie) coming up engine ignition system.

Also started the car its only putting out 12.10 tops ticking over and a small

cloud of black smoke came out of the Alternator as i gave it a rev.....thats not good!

Ran Froggy John....replacement alternator time.
 
Thanks Jamie, after ringing John and arranging to meet
him later for a replacement one, hopefully that'll keep me
going. If it acts up again i'll get that chaps number off you. :thumbsup:
 
at 12.10 with the engine running there is defo a fault with the alternator or its connections, but that doesn't explain the fuse popping. You may have an underlying problem there martin.

If you still have problems after the alternator is replaced sure give us a shout :thumbsup:
 
Latest on my adventures. Thought i had everything sorted :wall:

Fuse poped again on saturday night, spent most of yeterday tracing wires.

Was done to my last fuse and tried the car :pray: . Fuse didnt pop.

Car started grand this morning, touch wood that'll be it for a while.
 
Your right there John. I had wiring coming off quad lights still lying around.

All sorted now, that alternator you gave us is running great, old one was starting

to sqeal while ticking over too. Thanks again :thumbsup:
