WTN4ICE Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I'm having a problem hooking up the H20 to the sled battery.I'm useing the cig lighter adapter that came with it plugged into a receptacle hooked to the battery but keep blowing the fuse. What am I doing wrong ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Almquist Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Is the fuse on the snowmobile ? Is the polarity correct ? Have you tried it in your car/truck to make sure the cord is good ?I know that some of the early H2O had bad cords and it sound like the cord might have a short in it.

WTN4ICE Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 It's the same cord I was useing in the truck.It keeps blowing the fuse in the cig adapter. Guess I'll try it back in the truck and see what happens. I bought the unit last spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Almquist Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Is it using clips or is it hard wired to the battery ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTN4ICE Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hard wired to the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Almquist Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Are the wires color coded ? I don't suppose you would have a volt meter cause the center of the lighter should be positive. Would you have anything else that you could plug in ?The H2O should not draw enough amps to blow 1 amp fuse so how many amps is the fuse it is blowing ?

WTN4ICE Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Going back to the garage thanks for the help.It's blowing a 2amp fuse.I pulled the cig adapter out and noticed a spot that is flattened out where it ran through the cowling on the sled.Perhape enough to damage the wires inside ?? I plugged it back into the truck and when I plugged the unit into the cord the indicator light on the cig adaptor became very dim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
