Vw Battery Fuse Box

A car fuse box develops minor problems like blown fuses, dislocated fuses or impaction of grime and dust along the connectors. A blown car fuse is among the most common of car maintenance problems. If you can locate the car fuse box, replacing blown fuses and troubleshooting other fuse box problems is rather easy.

Getting Started: Identifying Car Fuse Box & Car Fuse Basics

Fuse boxes are meant to protect the electrical circuits of the car against moisture-induced damage and short circuiting. Most of the car manuals have detailed diagrams regarding the position of the fuse box. It is usually located under the hood of the car. However, some cars might have the car fuse box with the panels of the dashboard.

Among car fuses, there is usually a main, battery fuse. This fuse is most likely to be blown be an unwanted electrical discharge. Please note that when replacing the battery fuse or any of the other fuses, you need an exact replacement. This means you need to match the replacement fuse with the labeled information on the existing/blown fuse. Some of the fuse boxes also contain spare fuses. However, these are prone to being ineffective after a certain period.

Troubleshooting Car Fuse Boxes with Blown Fuses

Ensure that you are wearing plastic gloves and the car is turned off. The engine too should have cooled down. After locating the car fuse box, assess it for any blown fuses. Such fuses are usually easy to identify. Most of them are likely to develop a blackened hue. However, this isn't always applicable. Thus, you need to test the fuses with a voltmeter. Handling this voltage testing device is rather easy.

You can remove the suspected fuses with a plier. Test both ends of the fuse with the voltmeter. The voltmeter should provide immediate readings for both the ends in the form of its needle moving vigorously. If this is not the case, you need to replace the fuse. A replacement fuse can be bought from any car supply store. The fuses are sold in standard amperage or voltage readings. You don’t need tools to replace the blown fuse, just insert it in its dedicated, empty space.

Troubleshooting Dirty Car Fuse Holders

The fuse holder is likely to be covered with grime and dust over a period. The grime can get deposited along the circuits and hamper the flow of current. Dust covered fuses are like to malfunction even if they are in a working condition. This is because the dust covers the conducting surfaces and acts as a natural insulator. Thus, you need to clean the fuse holder.

Don’t use hard water, harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners for cleaning the car fuse box. Just use a dry cloth. An emery cloth is ideal for this kind of cleaning. You can wrap the cloth over the tip of a screwdriver to clean the internal, hard-to-reach fuse holder surfaces.

Troubleshooting Loosened Car Fuse Boxes

A car fuse box is likely to be secured with rivets or a fuse block mechanism. Some fuse boxes even have side clips. These contraptions are likely to get loosened due to the impact of the car’s movement. A loosened car fuse box is likely to malfunction in many ways. For starters, the fuses can be dislocated from their dedicated slots. The fuse box may get hammered against a neighboring car component. Thus, you need to tighten the entire fuse block, rivets or screws. This can be easily done with screwdrivers and wrenches provided as a part of the car’s tool kit.

Go Kart Kill Switch Wiring Diagram

Putting a kill switch on your go kart engine is a great way to keep yourself safe while riding. The kill switch has two major purposes. First, to be able to kill the engine while still sitting behind the steering wheel of your go kart. The second function is to shut down the engine in an emergency situation. Installing a kill switch is not a difficult job. Begin by getting together the necessary parts and tools to do the job. You will also have to decide if you want a toggle switch or a remote switch. Once you make this choice you are ready to start.

Step 1- Removal of Fly Wheel

First you will need to locate the fly wheel and take the cover off of your go cart engine. To remove the fly wheel you will need a wrench to remove the  5/8 or 3/4 inch nut holding it on. Once the fly wheel is off, the magneto is exposed.

Step 2- Connecting the Kill Switch to Engine

When connecting the kill switch to the go kart engine you will need to find a metal nut which is located on the magneto. Connect one wire from the kill switch to this metal nut on the magneto. The other wire will need to connect to a ground wire somewhere on the go kart. The best place to connect the ground wire is to a bolt on the engine block. To do this you need to remove the bolt from the engine block and place the wire on the bolt. Once you have the wire on the bolt, return it to the engine and it will now be grounded.

Step 3- Running the Wires 

After you have the wires of the kill switch connected to the go kart engine, you need to run the wires to the front near the steering column. One of the most common ways to run the wires is under the seat along the frame. You will need to strap the wires with zip-ties or use wire clamps. When running the wires make sure the wires are not touching any of the parts of the engine that become hot. If you cannot run the wires any other way, you can use heat tape to cover and protect the wires.

Step 4- Mounting the Kill Switch

Once you have installed the wires correctly you will need to decide where you want to locate the kill switch. The best placement of the kill switch is on the frame close to the steering wheel. This makes it easy to access the kill switch. To mount the kill switch to the frame you can either use a hose clamp or you can bolt it to the frame. To bolt it to the frame you need to drill a hole in the frame.

Step 5- Replacing the Flywheel and Cover

Now that you have the kill switch wired to the motor, the wires run to the front, and the kill switch mounted to the dash, you will need to check your work again. After you have checked your work to insure everything is connected properly, you are ready to put the flywheel and cover back on your go kart engine. Make sure not to cut the wires you have installed when replacing the cover. You are now ready to test your switch before riding.

2003 Trailblazer Engine Wiring Diagram

I grew up being introduced to Haynes/Chilton repair manual by my father. I'm not a mechanic but a woman who does small repair and or assist one of my boys that are more experienced yet they come in handy, worth the price. Hard to find unless you order online. Don't mind it being paperback easier to carry around the truck. Yes the print is small. If you're having difficulty seeing the get a large magnifying glass that are 8×10 size works great for full page viewing. Otherwise it came in normal package for shipping a book.

Not as good as Haynes Manuals I have owned in the past. Good for the do it your selfer who has limited mechanical skills, but I remember having a copy of the repair manual for my 1992 Chevy Silverado back in the 90's and it had detail instructions on overhaul and repair of every major component on that truck. This one doesn't even have much on the tranny, and the wiring diagrams are lacking. Some of the instruction even include the line "this is best left to a professional maintenance shop". Really? Think my next vehicle I decide to do my own maintenance on, I'll just refer to You Tube and save my money for parts.

First of all - the seller delivered a perfect, new, well packaged book that arrived promptly. No issues there at all.
As for the book itself - anytime I've bought a different vehicle, I've either picked up a Haynes or Chilton manual for it. I'm in no way a mechanic, but can do basic to low mid-level repairs. I've leaned more towards Haynes because (to me), the instructions are clearer, I like the way the photos and illustrations are referenced, and like the layout of the book better. Nothing wrong with Chilton's books (they're very thorough, too), I just prefer Haynes. Unfortunately, this particular manual for myTrailBlazer doesn't seem as complete as some of their other books have been (first Haynes I've had to give up on and go to the internet). With what I've used it for so far (and again, I'm no mechanic), the electrical diagrams, instructions to get into the liftgate, changing the thermostat, oil changes, replacing headlight bulbs and other basics are all fine. Info about the liftgate's latch rod placement, how to get in to change the wiper fluid pump, and the list of OBDII codes all seem a bit lacking. Don't know if they were trying to incorporate too many vehicles or what ... However, even with a few disappointments, it's still well worth the money.

2000 Jeep Wrangler Vacuum Hose Diagram

Ok, just picked up this 2000 Sport, and going through things making it nice again and I found this vacuum port open on the intake, no plug, no extra lines running anywhere. I have no idea what to do.. Am I missing a line somewhere? just need a plug? TIA

Bet your heater or AC doesn't work right now. Look around, the line that should go on there is laying around someplace close by, probably down underneath.

It may also be part of the purge system - eventually it may set an evap code.

That port is manifold vacuum. It may affect the idle when cold before the computer comes on line, but the PCM will compensate for the extra air and adjust the idle appropriately.

Well, I will look around underneath, haven't seen anything before, actually the heater works very good.. ok only on high but it works right.. Not sure if they could be connected? mmm no fan on speeds 1,2,3 only 4 for that I looked at replacing the blower resistor, (used from salvage yard, 4 of them) and a relay but no worky. Don't feel like throwing another $50 not knowing if it is gonna fix it.

I found 2 pic's of that manifold and both have that port capped. so this is driving me nuts, but no descripition of where it goes. BTW no codes at all got those fixed..

Good question - that port is small compared to the intake leak when it's caught on the studs. If it was as large as the intake leak it would run too fast. The PCM/O2 sensors would see it's too lean, so it adds fuel, the IAC can't compensate for that much extra air and fuel, it does the best it can, but it only can do so much, resulting in an idle way too fast.

Small manifold leaks like just a sealing problem or the proverbial cracked manifold act the same as that port open. Find them easily with propane.

You have that port on yours, try pulling it off. Idle will change a little, then go back to normal. IAC in action!

I'm not sure - it's been awhile since I looked, but that port may even have an orifice inside, small mirror and flashlight will tell.

It's a good place to attach a vacuum gauge for troubleshooting too (plugged exhaust, valve action, restricted intake, etc.)

I looked on my 01 and the front port goes right over to the evap purge valve on the fender well. The line that your arrow is over the top of is what mine is connected to

2003 Explorer Sport Trac Radio Wiring Diagram

The Ford Sport Trac was a variant of the Ford Explorer SUV, with a small truck bed. Not all Explorers or Sport Tracs came equipped with cabin air filters; however, kits were available to convert the vehicles to support cabin air filters, and there were some Sport Tracs and earlier models of Explorers that did come equipped with the filters. Cabin air filters are fairly new to the automotive industry. They are designed to filter the pollutants and allergens from entering the passenger cab of a vehicle.
