I have no stereo now for some reason! and i think the culprit is a Little Red toggle switch under the hood, Has two terminal cables hooked up to...Flip the switch and it kills the radio. . .Anyone have one of these? one terminal comes off the harness, The other goes to the Positive on the battery...!?

Now i cant flip it. . .It broke. . .How can i fix this?!?! is this even a stock Part?

 

The video was no help and the switch is not factory so we probably can't help you there either.

 

Sorry, The video was just a little off topic.

Whatever this thing is, It was mounted on the coolant bracket. And it has two posts, One saying AUX and another saying BAT. . . It says 200A on it. And thats about all i can read, it has a Red Toggle Switch and a red Button. . .

Here pics will be better.



Anyone have any idea what this is???

 

Its an aftermarket breaker. Often used by installers with putting in lights and ridiculous stereos.

It appears to be this:

Why you would put a 200A circuit breaker in a vehicle is beyond me.

 

Have you tried pushing the button while turning the switch?

 

well if thats his truck in the vid then he needs the 200A breaker because of the 200A's of lights hes running.

 

The button opens the breaker. It is shown in its closed position.

I seriously doubt that the breaker is the issue, and 5 seconds with a multi meter will confirm or deny that. If the implication is that the radio stopped working after the splash through the water, a more likely suspect is crappy "custom" wiring that has shorted.

The 200A breaker really won't help with much of anything, as you'd have already started arc welding before it actually tripped. Oh....and the fact that the alternator can't put out enough current to make it trip. That could also be an issue.

To the OP - so, just how does the wiring look that was attached to that?

 

So i just Took the Breaker apart and connected all three Terminal loops together and now you can get sound from every speaker but when you turn it to ZERO on the volume you hear a horrible buzzing sound. you have to crank it up to like 20-25 to overcome the Sound. . . I had a guy look at it today and that wasnt much help at all! he's like it could be the RMA's The amps, or the head unit!

 

can you post a picture of it from a site like photobucket so I could look at it, I don't know much about landrovers, but I do know some about electronics in general, what guage is the wire going in and out of it?

 

So you just took the only (inadequate, but at least existing) circuit protection out of god knows how much wire going to how many amps?

Stop right there. Disconnect it. Find some help before you burn your truck down. I'm not kidding.
