Need help! My car won't start.
« on: April 11, 2009 - 10:27:56 AM »
Well, We wired my new electrical fans to the wire on the alternator that only has juice when the key is on(blue wire I think). It ran for awhile then the motor died and now it won't start. Everything works that runs when the key is off but anything that works only when the key is on doesn't. I think it drew to much juice from that wire. If we can get it fixed we are going to run a relay with a bigger wire. What could be wrong? Thanks a lot!

Well, that was what happened! I forgot we put a crappy fuse under the dash. It melted. We redone it and used 10 gauge wire with a relay. Works great now! I'll have to take pictures later.
