... alt kit for our trucks and the cost is about $300 plus the cost of a second alt. If you need a little more alt power talk to Nate at excessive amperage about a 200 amp alt guessing about $300ish. Also when you replace a battery in a vehicle always charge it first a drained battery will kill ...
... to about 11.9v next morning. I read online about the all too common, Silverado radio and instrument cluster 15a circuit probs. I performed the amperage draw test finding both at fault, even took back off instrument cluster to check for corrosion, and also unplugged radio and alternator. Both ...
The only problem that i have seen with this brands wiring kits it that they use copper coated aluminum wire. This means that you will have to use a larger size wire to carry the same amperage?wattage. Just my 0.02.
You need to check around and see what the normal amperage draw is while the Truck is off and all doors closed. Most of the amperage draw you posted on each circuit probably has to do with memory settings. If power is lost the memory settings will ...
They connectors could be poorly connected... if the electrical signal is having to bridge a gap of any kind it would make a crackle. I doubt at that voltage/amperage it could harm the speaker. I cant remember my connectors from my oem speakers :/
... (current flow) you are trying to obtain, hence the reason why your DMM or DVOM has different connections on it. Low resistance connections for amperage only and your high resistance connections for all other testing. Sure you may get a voltage reading in series, but it is WRONG. So back to ...
... candy bar :-) I am sure you just had one of those.. .. .. Brain Moments. The way you are explaining the connection is in SERIES, that is for AMPERAGE, you will NOT get a voltage reading. To read voltage, you have to have the meter connected in PARALLEL. PERIOD. As in POSITIVE on POSITIVE ...
You can use some hq splice/clamp connectors and youd never even tell the wiring was touched. You want to find out the amperage ratings on those lights... Then make sure your switch AND WIRING rating exceeds the draw! Dont make me do it... Also! FUSE! Itll keep your truck from burning ...
What amperage is your alternator rated for? If your lights dim while the engine is running it is definitely your alt and not the battery. Once the engine is running the battery becomes part of the load on the truck's charging ...
