Pictured is the relay board in the engine compartment on the drivers side. The pencil is pointing to a blue 25a fuse. That location is towards the back of the vehicle. The open slot next to it has no fuse. What does that operate and what amp fuse belongs there? I dont want to throw a 25a in if that is wrong. HELP,HELP,HELP!! Also, I am having problems with the drivers side running lights, front and rear are not operational and there is a huge voltage drop when I apply the breaks; goes from 13 to 10. Same thing applies when I turn on the lights. Break lights work and turn indicators work. Im thinking this is all related...Any ideas??  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) |

Your voltmeter is OK. It is reading the voltage drop on the wire coming ffrom the battery. Not the correct way to monitor battery voltage, just the cheapest for the factory. Correct way would be to run a wire from the battery to the voltmeter only.
Ever been in the shower when someone flushed and get burned by the water? Same principal. Tom |
