Here is what I lose:
Tach, fuel level, oil temp gauge, volt meter. Then the red alt. Light is on, but car runssmoother, it was not right before that. This is a 75 2.0. D-jet new coil not long ago, I have a hotspark module, no issues with it seems to be fine.. Had been running really good. All lights stay on except I think the brake light, that could be the culprit? . I will recheck that. What else is on this circuit? I thought tomorrow I would disconnet the fuel level sender, maybe that is the cause? |

Fuse #9 has nothing to do with the AAR.
AAR is fused off of the rear fuse on the relay panel AND at 25 amps is fused too high. I use an 8 amp for mine as I don't have the heater blower hooked up and no rear window defrost. The wire for the AAR is only good for about 20 amps before becoming so hot it melts surrounding wires, so if you fuse that one at 25 and and your AAR shorts out partially, it can fry the AAR wire and surrounding wires. If you do have the heater blower hooked up, using a 16 amp fuse will be good, but carry a back-up. An alternative is to put an inline fuse at the junction where the AAR wire hooks up to your harness wire and fuse it a 5 amps. Be a crying shame to fry that brand new ignition harness! Tom |

Fuse #9 has nothing to do with the AAR. Tom, can you rule it out? True, AAR circuit is not fused at the front, but some of the other components suppled by the ignition harness are. The wires supplying AAR and those components are adjacent, and if they start melting.... Since #9 is 7.5A (I think?) it could (not saying it's likely) blow first in the event of a more massive failure within the harness sheath. |
