Without physically checking each ground point, you would have to do voltage drop testing but you would need to know the ratings for each voltage path using that ground.
I don't know the exact internals of the wiring, but yes...the leads off the aux switches are fused already (2 40A, 2 15A). You run the positive of your accessory directly to the aux switch lead, and that wire is already fused (and properly fused close to the battery) - you just have to properly ground your accessory, i.e. appropriate wire ga, and a clean solid grounding point (I opted to run all mine directly back to the battery).
I just gave slightly conflicting info, so I want to edit/remove mine if needed - what scenario would that typically be required? The wire is fused close to the battery...as long as you don't swap the fuse for something higher than is rated (e.g. 40A or 15A depending on the switch), and you don't try to use your own smaller wiring than is rated for/comes with the light...what would another inline fuse protect?
I am talking in context of the aux switches that are already a fused circuit.
Exactly. The aux switch circuit is fused or protected for the maximum capacity of the supplied wiring and relays involved.
Yea, I missed that clarification...it's sort of what I meant about if you use smaller wiring, but wasn't worded 100% correctly/clearly. Ideally it's fused for what you need, and obviously not higher than what your minimum size wire can handle (i.e. no 20ga wire on a 40A circuit).
You might want to delete this post as you've expanded on it in another thread.
I took my beloved Gladiator into the dealer to have the start-stop feature fixed. The dealer said that the issue was that both batteries tested bad. They replaced both and kept it overnight. I picked it up the next day and on the way home all hell happened!
Hey Ken, I deleted the post because I thought I posted it on the wrong thread. I don't post often
I really don't know what information you want. It was parked for 18 days evidenced by our Jepp app. Diagnostic showed all good. Our siding and windows are not aluminum. Siding is asphalt and windows are behind the fire. The fact that the gas line was right there is the reason my husband ran back in the house after he expelled the extinguisher to no avail and yelled to me to evacuate with our dogs, and also the reason the fire department came in with thermal sensors to ensure the fire had not transferred into the walls of our home. Checked the gas line and furnace in the attic and deemed them OK, (after taking out a doggy gate).
The two threads you are jumping between are the only ones related to your situation. It would be less confusing if you started a new thread.
Amen. Start a new thread, not tag onto another - it just mixes things up.
You came in saying it burned, 2 weeks sitting. And not another thing?
Yes, exactly as you summarized. As suggested by the forum, I deleted from this thread. Yes, caught fire next to the house, burned only a couple minutes until the fire department showed up. Check the other thread.
