Default Re: Electrical Problem

Instead of blowing fuses, just leave it out and make a quick jump with a short wire and see if you have sparks. Or you could connect a test light to the fuse contacts. When you find and fix the short, the test light will go out.

If the fuse doesn't blow when you remove the terminal box wire from the cutout, then the ammeter must be OK, and the problem is in the cutout. The insulator might be missing, or the screw might be too long and shorting inside the case.
