right then not long had this car and it has been great but it has developed a problem, having gone through the forum for some obvious answers, this is my guess. The car is a sidewalk 1275 spi. At some point it has had a wiring bodge on the front grill area and there has been a few brown wires 'soldered' and i use the term very lightly together and also a 20 amp fuse holder fitted. Having sorted the soldering out, the original problem was the car just stopped and the 20 amp fuse had blown by the way a new one promptly blew! i think this is the main charging harness and a 20 amp spade fuse is just way to low a rating for this. I have read the thread on the factory fitted fused link being replaced and think that this is the culprit, what i dont want to do is replace this with a heavier fuse system and the damage something else.What sort of current would that be drawing when running after replacing the fuse it starts straight away and runs for a couple of seconds at tops suggesting a dead short but is it that the fuse is just way to small for the application. Hope some one has some advice.
cheers les
