Q:both these components stopped working suddenly on my automatic 2001 toyota Rav4 today. I have had no prior problems until this morning, now both arent registering anything at all. Any ideas what the problem might be, and how much its going to set me back financially to fix it?

if the gages read nothing i would start by checking fuses.

Q:I have 5mm LEDs that Im using to make automotive tail lights with and I need to know what I use for surge protection.

Figure out the current draw, and use a slow-blo fuse in series. Why do you need surge protection in an automobile ?

Q:I have built a custom car and want to reuse the original fuse box under the dash. All I am running that require power is all my exterior lights, gauge lights, dome light, power windows, ignition switch, push start button, alternator, and distributor. I want my lights to have constant power to a switch just like factory but i want everything else to get power once the ignition is turned on, once again like a factory car. Any help is appreciated.

it fairly is a risk that some thing is incorrect with the the remainder of the wiring on your place. although, the electrician became not required to do something approximately any of your wiring aside from the couple of ft going into the breaker field if that cord regarded ok then he does not have any reason to alter it. truthfully rewiring the whole abode could fee way greater beneficial than $one thousand or $1200, an entire rewire ought to fee 5 or ten circumstances that lots. So the fee distinction probably has greater to do with him not having coverage, not having a employer truck to maintain, and/or only being greater desperate for some earnings. i could fee $600-800 for a job like that reckoning on what proportion circuits have been in contact and how lots difficulty it became going to be to instruct the potential off and reconnect it. once you're worried that rewiring does might desire to be achieved, take a glance on the insulation of the present wires and notice if curiously broken, or the right age to be brittle. If not, there is not any reason to think of it fairly is failing

Q:i have got an 8 valve EFI k reg convertabile and i have only side lights working. i have no normal driving lights,no full beam and no ,rev counter,no fuel gage and no ignition lights.As soon as i put the ignition on the fuse 27 blows and the battary light comes on,can anybody out there help?

I haven't a clue what a k reg is, but the answer above is correct, you have to have a short to ground somewhere or the fuse wouldn't blow. You could have an electrical component with an internal short which is more likely than a frayed or broken wire. .

Q:Every time I hook my hot to the amp it starts glowing and smoking. I tried changing from a 20 fuse to a 30 and it still glows and smokes.

I concur with Aero

Q:I have a 2003 Chrysler Sebring. When I first bought it, six months ago I replaced the fuse that powers the radio, trunk button, unlock/lock button, and rear view mirror light. I replaced it every two months but lately Ive had to replace it every other day! I have no clue whats going on or what I should do. Please help!

the fuse blows because there's a short in the wiring. Fix the short, or risk the whole thing catching fire.

Q:I have a 1000 watt insignia amp trying to power 2 12 sony xplods but everytime i connect power to the amp the fuses blow in it. I also have a fuse by the battery that hasnt blown. Everything is right and it should work, I have gone throught it like 100 times and I cant understand why the fuses are blowing. Someone said insignia is garbage and i should just replace the amp, is this true?

trace all wiring leading to the amp. sounds like you have a short. if its not in your wiring then it must be the amp. i have never heard of nor encountered that brand of product ever. always be safe and purchase wisely. steer clear from products that are not known in the business.

Q:Can overheating cause the PSU fail for good? I have a gaming rig and been playing demanding games. My PSU just failed on me this morning. I can't turn on the power or anything, it just went dead all of a sudden. I took it out and it was pretty hot on the top.I'm just wondering if this is even possible? Or is there like a fuse that melts when it gets too hot?

Get it out of the cabinet you purchased it crammed into and enable it breathe. Did you sparkling out the front intake ports under the front bezel? As you ought to enable air bypass and out of the case. every time you separate heatsink from the GPU you ought to continually replace the thermal compound. Your skill grant is a few distance under spec and could not be the reason for over heating as you assert the fan is kicking up in speed. first of all i'd recommend to returned off the clock speed in case you OC'ed it. try yet another stable heatsink and fan. yet what you're able to locate out is that the wear and tear has already been carried out and you will ought to replace it.

Q:I have a 1998 Honda civic stock altenator I want do a 1200 watt amp it says 120 amps fuses and I want do 2 highs amp 1 300 watt and 1 400 watt will I be ok to hook this up

In the short term, probably. Long term - I'd be surprised if that alt lasts 6 mo. At anything over 1/2 volume that alt will basically be maxed out. Under that much stress the amount of heat produced will be extreme. Heat in alternators causes both the electrical components and the mechanical components to wear out quickly.

Q:I have dont have a fuel injected bike.Its a suzuki rf600does the wiring fry that easily ? ( if thats the case?)

Will any lights come on? OR Will the starter motor spin when you press the starter button? If either of those are no, could be a bad ignition switch. To check - test for power at the fuse terminals (don't just look at the fuse). Without any more details, the next possible problem would be a fry-ed ECM (carbureted models use them). An ECM is the equivalent of a CDI box.
