Hey guys,

I had this same issue, but i dug deeper into the fuse box and found that one of the solder joints had failed. It sits right next to F6 and F7. You can clearly see F7 is corroded. It seems like the fuse should be protecting the system from failures like this?! Am I off base in suggesting a smaller fuse? Anyway I re-soldered the joint and everything is working again. We'll see how long it lasts this time.

I might just step them both down 5 amps and see if they pop. I'd rather replace the fuse once a year then have to re-solder or jumper it.

cheers

If power is running through FL4 in the Fusebox under the hood, but not running to the Brown/Pink wire on the connector, is it acceptable to just connect the Brown/Pink wire directly to the FL4 30amp fuse? If I understand correctly, this would still provide the 30 amp protection needed and not require an additional inline 30amp fuse, right?

If this is acceptable, which side of FL4 do I connect to in order to still utilize FL4?
