we are all forgetting what charges the battery?
the alt
which is bolted to the engine, my advice to get maximum current into you battery choose your earth to the block and run a separate earth to the body and run a corresponding charge supply to you battery

12 months later, a/c no longer cold, so I took it back to the same place. Couldn't find a leak, just re-gassed it d(with more oil and more dye) and told me "it's not unusual". Did you take the car back there within two weeks of the initial regas to see if there was any indication of a leak? if you ...

ive found when diagnosing a/c leaks the best way is to use a/c dye the 3rd place you took it to should of asked you to return with in a week so they could shine the uv light on to the evapourater drain hose in the engine bay to see if there is any hint of a green tinge i believe that $700 is a ...

any of the gromets usually above the pedals use a flat blade screw driver to pass through the grommet or if your keen a knife but dont cut any wires in the grommet because you wont be able to repair them.

24V Alt
B+ is battery
D+ is Warning Light
D- Is Rectifier earth which dont worry about
W is star point which is directly off the windings of the stator generaly speaking its half the voltage of the alt.
used for running relays and taco's not for large loads.

any good auto elec should have them
but be warned they arent cheap compared to normal weather proof plugs

running a 30a fuse will cause you more grief than you want ie melting looms together !! youll find your short because thats where the melting started from the only problem is it will travel halfway across the car back to the fuse box. my advice is eliminate newly installed accesories ie radios etc ...

you my freind have a voltage drop on the crank wire fit a starter relay

the armature inside is probably toasted and is shorting to ground which is what is causing your excessive current draw
take the back cover off and check it out might be burnt or stinkin like its burnt

ive used cole hearse switches which are silver contacts may cos more but a well worth it as long as you wire it correctl
good cabling is the key

why dont you you use double contact toggle switches there rated to about 20amps just run six mm cable to it through a circuit breaker
if in doubt call in to a auto elec

from what you have said you compressor seals are leakin which in turn is leak a/c gas
you need to have you compressor re sealed which is about 300 - 450 depending on if it needs any thing else plus a regas on your a/c

i didnt ask how old i asked how flat it is what are you running off that battery? fridge? invertor?

i know of a turbo setup on a gq standard engine,cast exhaust manifold and air to air intercooler making inexcess of 220rwkw on 33's
properly tuned with the right bolt ons any thing is achievable
contach quadcamshorty for some info or look up his thread

how flat is your secondary battery?? if your running that dead flat or even slightly flat your alternator will try and supply that battery with a full amount of current, but if you main and secondary battery are are connected wilst you are driving . your main battery will be having excesive current ...

yes they are the same is yours petrol or diesel? an bosch bxu1234 is a great alternative as the fit straght on just need to modify plug wiring but they are cheap to rebuild further down the track. if its a diesel a kia pregio alternator is a direct fit they are 90 amp and internally fanned so they ...

you can buy brand new combo switchs aftermarket type from bursons for about $$120 and Geniune for about $170

go out and buy a re60 or re72 reg depending on lateness of your alt and bobs ya uncle fixed reg if you have it wired correctly also vt alts are prone to crackin stator wires to the rectifer so you may also have a crook alternator the only way to check that is to pull it apart and test the rectifer a ...

well if its in bits you can degrease it and pressure wash it then just blow dry it with air gun
or if you have access to a parts washer through it in there as well

as in a delco chev alternator??
if your not fussed just use push on terminals if you are ring any auto elec and see if they can help you with plug and pin pack

have you checked ecu earths??
or whether or not your getting volt drop when all your lights are on to you computer or gas system
i would be checking them aswell

if your certain you have a good engine/ battery earth and your head unit is earthed properly
and you amp is
well you should either get a set pf rca supressors or buy better amps or headunits with built in suppressors and noise filters
just my two cents nothing more nothing less

yup thats wow we get around engine start problems and determine if its the bcm or something else

hi all i know that you can go around bcm you need to power up a pink wire on the engine ecu that goes from the bcm to ecu this is that signal wire if you power it through a test light vehicle will start thats how we determine bcm faults at my work plus it is how car theifs manage to steal cars so ...

i may be wrong but the thermo fan you are talking about may be activated when the high side a/c head pressure reachs a critcal level lets say 300psi so in doin so the pressure switch activates the relay activating the thermo fan i can remeber but thats how most older a/c thermo setups work, because ...
