Try changing the relay, that was my problem.

xbluedr4gonx · 07-25-2006, 09:32 PM

uhh how does that piece look like ? is it where all the T-tap thing connects, or where the fuse connects to everything else? where could i buy one ? thanks.

ok believe it or not a blown fuse can tell you alot of what's wrong.
Did is the fuse completely blown?? or did it just melt apart? if it's completely blown you most likely have a short to ground. if it's melted you have a low resistance/ high current problem.

The relay is the black box with the bunch of wires coming out of it on the wiring harness. It could be a bad relay but your fuse blowing means you have a short SOMEWHERE. Check all of your connections carefully and make sure nothing is wet or making contact.

Water in the relay? pinched wire somewhere?

xbluedr4gonx · 07-25-2006, 10:02 PM

i think the fuse looks more melted away than blown, but i don't know... when i turn on the car i hear a snapping sound and i'm pretty sure it came from the fuse...so blown maybe ??

all these things were working but the fuse just blew one day and it stopped working ever since.

search for a pinched wire...

I have the same problem too! I looked for a pinch wire and found nothing! What else could I look for?

The ballasts are designed to also blow before, there is a built in short in there when they "die" - that's what is causing your fuse to blow.

Please email your retailer.

So i bought a set of Predators off a fellow fanatic and he mistakingly forgot to send me a piece. I think someone described it as a relay.. im not really sure what it is. Here is a pic http://www.umnitza.com/gallery/view_..._05_Image_0002

It is the black box thats bolted onto the car, i have the the wiring harness that looks like a cross but nothing to plug it into. What is this piece and where can i get another? my car is in pieces

You can pick one of those up at radio shack or home depot most likely. They are a simple 5 prong relay. We can also send you one but it will take a few days to get there.
