Show me a picture of the circuit board and I will point it out Title: Re: S2000 topper chaser lights not working Post by: BR549 Auto Sales on September 04, 2011, 11:30:35 PM you mean the green circuit board that actually has the led bulbs on it? If so, I will have to take the chrome casing apart to do so, can you give me an idea as to where it is located if indeed it is on that board? Just trying to save the step of taking the pic and sending it.

Thanks, David Yes it is on the green circuit board and usually marked FS1 or F1 Title: Re: S2000 topper chaser lights not working Post by: BR549 Auto Sales on September 04, 2011, 11:49:19 PM is it soldered to the board or is in a fuse clip, also what is the size of the fuse in case it is not etched on it.

Title: Re: S2000 topper chaser lights not working Post by: poppo on September 05, 2011, 12:46:52 AM I would think you could just solder in one of those small automotive fuses that you can get just about anywhere.
Title: Re: S2000 topper chaser lights not working Post by: Tilt on September 05, 2011, 12:55:54 AM I don't think you could fit one of those on the PC board, so you'd have make leads and place it off the board somewhere. Do they make automotive fuses like that in 1A? I've never looked for one that small before, most circuits seem to be fused for 10A or 15A.

Not sure about 1 amp. The smaller ones are not very big. But even if you needed to use some leads, it's not like anyone is going to see it. Just looking at alternatives for a quick fix and not having to wait on shipping. Even Radio Shack has some small glass tube type fuses that I know come in 1 amp. Use with a fuse holder or just solder leads onto it. And personally I like fuse holders instead of having to keep re-soldering things if there is some other issue making them blow.

I completely agree. Fuses/batteries should be "user replaceable", and to me that means that you shouldn't have to put a soldering iron on anything to replace them. |
