Audio (sort of) help

[Knuckles]

I bought this cable a while back and it worked fine (after swapping the faulty one for a new one)

a couple of months later the cable stopped charging. No biggy, just a bit annoying. It still plays fine though.

Could the fuse be the reason it's not working?

Mine is similar to this but with a bit of wire rather than these 'S' shaped bits of metal

i thought I'd ask here before taking the radio out to get at the fuse.

​cheers

Could well be as the audio and charging circuit on the ipod connector would be separate. Doubt you'd need a gold plated fuse any 20mm fuse of right rating would be fine for a charging circuit. Sorry if I'm not of help only browsed your other thread

 

[Knuckles]

That was the only image of a similar fuse I could find. So you think it could fix it? Off to find out fuse type now

not having any luck. Can anyone hazard a guess?

these fuses suck goat balls mate they are known to become loose inside and still look fine to the eye i had the problem were my amp kept on cutting out for no reason for it to cut out again and not turn on atall i checked the voltage to see it was reading 0.3v after changing it i haven't had the problem since

replace the whole fuse for an anl fuse mate

 

[Knuckles]

can i have laymans terms please

and possibly links

So, if i fiddle with it, itll be a temporary fix?

also, can i do a pikey mod by packing it with foil to stop it coming loose?

 

[bionic]

you can pikey mod it but it will be at big risk of damaging the component your using it for

here is a link to anl fuse holders you will need to find the right size holder and size fuse

if you can check the current flow across the fuse or just go buy another fuse for replacement and see if it works

 

[Knuckles]

Right, cheers

So do I just chop the existing fuse out and fit one of those anl fuses?

and will the fuse have the rating written on it? As I'm sure the last time I checked it was blank

 

[bionic]

you replace the fuse holder and fuse but i would personally buy another fuse and fit it and see if thats the problem first

 

[Knuckles]

I think I have a spare fuse, ill dig tht out, try it. If that fails ill buy a new one then fit that anl fuse as a last resort.

cheers For this
