Headlights out
This is a strange one. At least to me.
My headlights on my 2008 RXV stopped working so the first thing I did was try to find a fuse. So I found a fuse that I think is the right one. I pulled it and checked it with an ohm meter. Continuity was good. Now when I try to reinsert the fuse its gives out a hot spark and I hear a loud pop. The spark is hot enough to burn the tip of the fuse but didn't blow it. The wire also goes to the 48 to 12 volt converter. Do I have a bad converter? How can I check? I'm really lost and all replies greatly appreciated. Thanks, hms09 |

Re: Headlights out
undo the reducer when putting in the fuse
check for 12v power at your fuse ... spark would mean yes it is powered but what voltage ? |

Re: Headlights out
You have a DVM check all your voltages at each connection!

Re: Headlights out
That is not unusual. There are some big caps in the reducer that cause the spark. Mine does it every time I reconnect it. Check the output of the converter for 12V.

Re: Headlights out
Gonna get back to it today. Can anyone tell me how to check the output of the converter? I sure don't want to fry anything. My converter is a Tobsun with 4 wires. 2 black, 1 red and 1 yellow. One of the blacks go to bat#4 -. The red goes to #3 +. The other black and yellow trails off into a harnesses that I cant determine where they go yet.
I have a DVM just not sure where to probe. Where should I have F/N/R switch ? Tow/Run switch in tow or run? Thanks for all your help. I am pretty mechanically inclined on a car but not these carts. hms09 |

Re: Headlights out

Re: Headlights out
f/r switch dose not matter if tow switch is in tow
the tow on is just to protect the controller |
