    Solonoid vs Battery for power

    What post would you go to if it were just one high amp draw item? While you are out sourcing this 3/4-1in power point stud, pick me up a flux capacitor with some 1N4001 diodes wired in so it will protect whatever I have hooked up to it from the electro magnetic field when I shut it down.

    Solonoid vs Battery for power

    Arisley, not a bad way to do it after seeing your picture. I would not do it that way if I were hooking up a lot of high amperage items. Those little power posts range from 150-250A max ratings, depending on the post size. A winch can pull up to 400A. You should wire high amperage draw items...

    Curious Arisley, where would you fuse in that scenario?

    Solonoid vs Battery for power

    I'm not sure why you keep referring back to "factory" or "OEM" wiring? What does that have to do with adding additional accessories/ load to the factory/ OEM electrical system? When have you ever seen the factory add anything extra to the electrical system and connect it to the solenoid...

    Solonoid vs Battery for power

    No one is going to learn anything from you in regards to the proper way to add accessories to a 12/24V system. You do it your way and the other 90% of the 12/24V installers will do it there way. Why would you wire in added accessories that can feed back or affect your factory electrical system...

    Solonoid vs Battery for power

    Because that solenoid is rated for a certain amperage. If you start loading it up with a higher demand, it will heat up and possibly fail or provide a slightly lower voltage. When adding accessories, you should add an additional fuse/ junction box or wire directly to the battery. The...

    2002 fuel pump issues ?

    Run a wire (pos and neg) directly to your fuel pump ftom the battery with a toggle switch inline. If the fuel pump works then, its a bad relay or wiring. If it still does not work or work properly, its a bad pump. That's what I did to mine after trying to chase down some phantom bad rełay...

    2002 fuel pump issues ?

    If you are only getting 2V, the pump is bad. My pump stopped working and I was getting low voltage at the pump. I chased relays and wires for two days. Finally gave up, bought a new pump and everything was fine.

    HID's out..LED's in

    I was wondering the same thing about rotating the LED "bulb". LED's are directional and I imagine these are your typical 120 degree beam angle and a halogen or HID bulb is 360 degrees of illumination. I'm assuming both LED's are not on when in the low beam setting?

    HID's out..LED's in

    Backwoodsboy What housings are you installing these in? Curious to know if you have the same results as Strokin Tatsch. No extra distance and side illumination on highs.

    Rigid Rock Lights

    Does the color of the housing matter? If the housing is white, would that matter? If it does not, look up any electrical sign supply distributor in your area and pick up some channel letter LED modules. The only problem is that they only come in white but will be just as bright(depending on...

    HID's out..LED's in

    Lifetimeledlights.com. There is a pic on their website. You can also google reviews. My only concern is the little fan wearing out quickly.

    99.5 no turn signals or hazzards

    I never checked relays or if wires were getting power. I had no flashers or blinkers. Posted my same problem up and another member told me what to look for. I checked and it was the big connector on top of the steering column, under the cover. It did not look to be loose but I pushed it in...

    99.5 no turn signals or hazzards

    Pull the steering wheel cover off and on the top of the column, there is a large connector. In the older trucks when you tilt the wheel, it puts strain on that connector and it comes loose. One of my tabs broke so I had to use zip ties. It most likely won't look like its loose. You will...
