Problem with Alpine HID

Dmacc · 10-06-2010, 01:30 AM

Does anyone know what size the fuse is for Alex's AE kit? Mine is completely melted in the housing LOL

Yellow 20 amp ATO fuse. Try moving it behind the washer fluid reservoir, seemed to help me.

Also try get a 30amp for replacement. Alex said it will provide more power and he sent me a 30amp replacement.

Thanks guys, I ended up replacing the melted 20 amp with a new 30 amp, I also tucked the fuse holder behind the washer fluid like acivick suggested. We'll see how long it lasts

umm... yeah at 12V a 20A load is 240Watts!! Did the fuse blow? or just the housing melt?
