Re: Added several accessories to my G16. Keep blowing 10a fuse near solenoid.

The reason I was able to get some new wiring up to the roof for the dome lights, front aux lights, and rear reverse lights was because there was already one wire running through the roof support when I got it in a salvage yard. I ended up taping the crap out of my 3 new wires to the end of the single existing wire and pulled the new wiring through by removing the old single wire, and even that was a total pain. I tried fishing wiring through down the opposite end of the support all different kinds of ways and it just wouldn't happen. |

Hey again Mike! What exactly do you mean by, "...and is not restricted with the ground like earlier models are"?? Not sure I follow on that. If BigBlock doesn't stumble upon this and chime in I'll shoot him a PM and see if he wouldn't mind giving this a read and providing some feedback. Again, I really don't see me being able to fish a ground wire up through the roof support, and that's my only obstacle in running this separate ground from the battery. |

I pulled 3 - 18 guage through by blowing a string through with air, and using that instead of a wire to pull with.

I don't know about big block or not big block but I think they called it a floating ground on Yamaha's that's why you have to ground to the battery. Hope you get it straightened out.

Re: Added several accessories to my G16. Keep blowing 10a fuse near solenoid.
Thanks Lurch. I talked to a buddy of mine who has a Masters in Electrical Engineering. Figured he's gotta be able to give me some useful input. He suggests that I eliminate the fuse on the ground (-) wiring, and add a fuse to the positive (+) wiring instead. He also suggests running maybe something like a 10 gauge wire from the ground terminal on the battery to the chassis after doing the above, since I want to use the chassis for my ground in several areas.
For now I just simply put in a 20-amp fuse in place of the 10-amp fuse, temporarily. That seems to have done the job, but I will hopefully get around to doing what he suggested in the coming weeks. I'm just drained from working on this thing for so many days now lol. |

Re: Added several accessories to my G16. Keep blowing 10a fuse near solenoid.
Don't reply to all posts because some very good members have given great advice. All I can say is when you add accessories to a Yamaha you should upgrade the main fuse from a sometimes 3 (new cars), normally 10 amp fuse to 15 or 20 amp fuse, just to much "draw" on the main car running curcuit. My never ending reply to all Yamaha's from G1 to G14 with CDI ignitions (yes, open and closed ground) is to run straight to the battery, not to the frame to stop possible ignition problems. G16's and up use a TCI, Magnito ignition system and is not as critical, but why would you take the chance? On all Yamaha's we build, the wireing will go straight to the the battery, positive and negative. I really like Lurch's fuse block set up. Once you've installed it, any more things you want to tie into it is easy. I don't claim to know everthing, just adding what we do at the dealership. Good luck!
