Andy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 More of a word of warning than anything else!! Went to jump my Z yesterday and my friend who's car we were using, had some trouble working out the difference between red & black and + & - so when connecting the leads to his car, it managed to blow the main 20 amp engine fuse. No biggie I thought, will just swap it out and off we go. However, turns out that this fuse is built into the whole assembly and once this fuse pops, you're looking at the harsh reality of £56+vat from your local stealer for a whole new fuse & surrounding fitted pieces. I myself am going to rewire it all I think and put in a quick release positive terminal with volt meter etc so I don't have to worry about this again. Thought it was worth sharing this info as I haven't come across it before so take care when you are jumping your Z's and make sure you have a friend helping who has a higher IQ than my pet cat This is the piece & fuse I am talking about.

Ekona Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Very lucky, I've seen ECUs blown and wiring looms melted after such a mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
