DatsuNissanLove Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Sorry I haven't been around for awhile but work kept me busy... I recently had this problem with my electrical n it seems like after fixing my BMW lights that this went wrong.. first sign was the 15 amp headlight fuse popped a weak n a half after I got the headlights fixed.. so I put a 25 amp fuse n it seemed fine but should've payed more attention to my truck I guess cuz the alternator ground wire totally burned up n my throttle cable is destroyed.. I noticed after peeling the burnt wire that ders a wire that goes to the headlights but I'm kind of in a bind n dont know where to go from here.. so I need some expertise.. you can see the burnt look on the fuse.. no other wires were burnt.. just the one.. even though ders other wires coming from the one.. where it grounds..guessing.. this is how the guy that fixed my wires rigged it up.. I think this is the problem but wut u think.. these wires were swapped to make the lights work.. is this correct? Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Fuses protect wire. Increasing a fuse size is not a solution. But it is a great way to keep busy with more problems. If you blow fuses, you have too much load on the circuit. To fix this, you need to run a new circuit. Larger AWG wire with larger fuse direct from the fuse block. It's less difficult than it sounds, but it does require a few bits and pieces. Headlight harness that came with the headlights should be sized right. But the wire running to them needs to be sized for the load. Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Dude try searching. There are at least 3 threads about ellipsoid installs with wiring and everything discussed. Google "ratsun bmw ellipsoid" Quote Link to comment

willz Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 He means google it. Or use the search function for the forums. Almost any question you have is addressed somewhere. People get tired responding to questions that have been answered in depth before Quote Link to comment

mcordero8 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 You need to add the relays. Without the relays it will cook again. Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanx hobo Laecaons demonstration is probably the most detailed one i'ma find.. which wire is which is wut I was having problems with.. i haven't tackled rebuilding wiring yet but if you follow it make sure you do everything that's in there. relays and fuses are important because: You need to add the relays. Without the relays it will cook again. Quote Link to comment
DatsuNissanLove Posted February 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I really don't want a toggle switch.. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 You can hook up the original pull switch to activate the relay. You run new wire ,fused power, from the relay to lights Quote Link to comment
5t341tH Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yes use a relay. That way the headlights get direct 12v from battery Quote Link to comment
