Melting? Wow, sounds like a hard short. Take a look at your wiring and see if any of it is bubbled or discolored more than the surrounding wiring. If it's pulling that much amperage and heat to melt a fuse, it should be making itself known the the wiring as well. If you can, also check continuity.

 

ya i found the wire supper crispy...are they hard to re-wire

 

Not really. Just need to see where it's shorting at and rewire past that. So follow the crispy wire and see where its doing it. To do a good job, a simple soldering iron and new same gauge wiring and electrical tape can do the job.

 

cool ill give it a shot tommorow in the light thanks!

 

Your running WAY to big a fuse for it to melt and turn the wire crispy. It's suppose to blow before the wire melts and catches a fire...thats there purpose

 

the ole boy is right..lol..my Amp fuse by the battery would blow..so in order for it to work on cruise night..i put in a 5amp bigger fuse..problem solved..lmao..although it melted it after a while..but nothing was harmed as far as i know..

it could just be a loose connection somewhere..so check all of your connections bud!

 

thanks all....its melted all the way up to the harness, this sucks

 

Lesson learnt I think...Only use the rated fuse.

Happy rewiring
