Q:2000 malibu power windows will not work at all. replaced the circuit breaker and still does not work

Here are the components to check: The fuse, the window switch, the window motor and the regulator. The regulator is a cable mechanism that actually moves the window up or down (not the same as the motor). If it does not move at all, the fuse, switch and motor are the things to check first.

Q:I checked all fuses they are ok.

Could be that your cam possition sensor is shorted or has a broken wire running to it.Check for voltage at the plug in.(8 volts)If not wiggle the wire to see if voltage will show.

Q:i the wiring going to the fue box bad or is the ecu bad?

Put a fuse that is correctly rated for that slot. Turn the ignition on (engine off) and see if the fuse pops. Right now you may have a short in that system. You need to recreate the situation that popped the fuse in the first place. The only way for wiring to go bad is to draw to many amps through the wires that will in turn, melt the wires. The fuse box is there to protect the vital components of the car. If the mass air flow sensor is not working, the car will not stay running. It will start, but not stay running.

Q:I have an older 2-channel Sanyo audio receiver. It takes two fuses (one fuse for each speaker channel). The fuses that were originally in the receiver were 2A fuses. They are blown and I need to find replacements. I have two 4A fuses I pulled from an old stereo component system. They're both the same as the original fuses but they're 4A. Would it be safe for me to put them in the receiver? And if so, could I be able to turn the system up fairly loud without frying it due to using 4A fuses? Or should I avoid this altogether? It doesn't matter if I fry the system because it's old, but I'm more concerned if it created sparks or smoke or even started a fire.

The older gentleman is correct. You can use 4A fuses, but if one of your speakers (or wires) shorts out, that action might destroy the amp instead of blowing that fuse. No, you will not get more power out of it, but make sure that the unit has enough ventilation to properly breath so it doesn't get too hot during operation.

Q:Hey i just bought a van for travling and i was wondering what can i run off a 12 volt power point?? kettle ' fan ect.

you should be able to run anything that does not exceed the amperage rating of the fuse for the power point this is usually about 10-15 amps, depending on the vehicle and what other components this fuse controls. If we consider that wattsvoltage x current that means that you should be fine with anything that is rated at under 120-180 watts or a combination of things (using a splitter) totaling less than that. Find the fuse that controls your power power point, and look at its amperage rating. I would assume that this fuse also controls other components as well (dome lights, etc.). Multiply its amperage by twleve and that is the MAXIMUM number of watts that can be used on that circuit. Since this represents the maximum number of amps possible on the circuit (and probably would result in a blown fuse) dont pick an appliance that matches the wattage number you calculate or you will overload the circuit and blow a fuse. Other than that you can use just about anything that meets these requirements.

Q:I hope u can help me on this one ! :)I hocked up my pc to 230 volt while power supply set on 115 !! It made a loud bang when i turned it on and flashing a lot !Maybe it was a fuse (i hope so) If it was a fuse where is that fuse ?Or Did my pc just burned of ? what should i do ?

The PSU is dead. You will need to replace it.

Q:I have a variac transformer rated at 7.5 amps but the fuse burned out. I want to increase the rating to 20 amps, can I do this by replacing the fuse with a 20 amp fuse?

The weakest link in a Variac is the carbon commutator wiper (the part that rotates on the exposed adjustable winding). While the Variac may tolerate a 20 amp fuse rating for a short period of time - the wiper will soon burn out and become intermittent or open due to excessive current. Try a 7.5 amp slo-blow fuse instead of the conventional fuse. This will give the variac more surge protection and provide the same capacity as a higher rated fuse for a short period of time and still prevent permanent damage to the wiper/winding components.

Q:I have found the source of the drawfuse is connected to the lighter/dome light. That's all it says on the small fuse panel anyway so as far as starting to change the bad wire or component goes am I really just looking at the lighter and dome lightor are there usually other items connected to this fuse as well?Just looking for guidance - age old tips to make my troubleshooting / wire replacing task less daunting.

STOP,they only list the main componants on that fuse,there may be others,it's best to pull the fuse and see what else dosn't work,to correct the draw.In order for wiring to cause a draw it would have to shorted somewhere,you would have burnt wires,cig lighters usually short out inside that will give you a parasitic draw,but try what i suggested first if nothing else found replace the sig lighter

Q:Every time I buy a little figurine or annual ornament, I am amazed at how crystal clear the glue is that holds the crystal together.Anyone know what kind of glue that is or what kind you think it might be?

NO, but you could call the factory or head office ask what they would use to replace a piece if it broke off I would think it would be the same as what they used to create it in the first place.

Q:Both the windows and the interior light all quit simultaniously any ideas

blown fuse
