a car amplifier should use an outdoor 2or so gague (very thick_) wire, ran, not to the fusebox, but to the battery, with a 20-30 amp under the hood, within a foot of the battery. the amperage your fuse will rewquire is based on the formula amps= wattsdivided by volts. a 240 watt amp on a 12 volt line would need a 20 amp fuse, just for the amp alone.
[email protected] all the fuses and relays in the 2 boxes under the hood and another one of fuses and relays panel inside the car, front of the driver seat, behind the pull out box next to the hood release handle..Under the hood check inside the one with 8" black square box;Check # 1 slot fuse, it is 60 amps for (+B ), check # 8 slot fuse for Engine control 20 amps, check # 15 slot Fuel pump 15 amps..And check another skinny black box lie next to that box, it has relay F, that is Engine control, check that also...And inside the car fuses panel; Check # 1 slot fuse 10 amps that for Ignition coil, # 8 slot Engine control 7.5 amps, # 12 slot Engine control 7.5 amps..After that recheck the battery post, that maybe needed re-tight..Don't force to tight too much, that will crack and broke the post and the plastic battery body...And check all the ignition wires and spark plugs that are tight or needed to replace..And check all the vacuum lines that are loose and leaks suctions or sometimes they are crack open by long ages..By the way check and recheck all those other fuses and relay for make sure they are good...Believe me that not hard to figure out those problems..You did everything rights so far..That one 100 amps fuse at the + battery post cable was connect to alternator for recharging your battery and give power to other items when car was running..Below that post, the middle cable was connect to the starter motor and the bottom cable was connect to that 8" black fuses and relays box under the hood...
Under the hood, NOT in the fuse box. Hard to tell you which one, but its the 4th one back, 3 wires, Light Green, Light Green and Red, and Black and Red. The Light Green is HOT and comes from the fuse 32 (15 amp)
This is a straight forward wiring project involving 110 volts of electricity and a 15 amp circuit.
If there is already power available at this location use it. If not, run a wire to the cabinet above the hood location with enough extra to drop down into the hood area and hook it up.
Once you have the power wire in place it is just a matter of hooking the wires up black-black, white-white, ground-ground screw.
you have a bare wire or something along those lines touching metal so when you turn your lights on it causes the circuit to overload in turn blowing your fuse. its hard to say where it is you will just have to trace your wires
The Black 120vac Line In wire goes into "L". The Black wire goes into "2". The Red Wire goes into "3". When you install the switch, the Red and Black wires will be on top of the switch.
Had same problem & fuse fixed it.
Before buying a new control board (approx $160), check the 3 amp fuse located on the inside of the vent on the control board. You have to take the light/bottom housing & black plastic air chute off to see control board/fuse.
