Yammie F150 fuse?

[AllenW]

Anyone know where the fuse is that blows when the battery cables get reversed?

Should know better to work on electrics at 11:00pm and with a flashlight.

Had the positive cable hit the negative battery post and took out several fuses, found the ones for the T-8 kicker, but all the ones on the F150 look good
Must be another fuse somewhere??

Wiring diagram leaves much to be desired.

Thanks much, I'm thinking an inline fuse also but having a tough time finding it.

I dont have yammie but when I cant fiqure out what it is, back in my ranger by the battery is a black switch and red button, its like a safety net, shuts electric off, trip it back all should be fine. If its your engine fuse, I cant help.

Turns out it was one of the two 50 amp fuses on the motor, also turns out my $9.95 on sale at home dept VOM has died without notice.

Going back to Fluke or Sperry...but should have checked the meter with a known source..duh.

Thanks all.

Allen,
Check the batteries and fuse in your 9.95 meter.
That may be all that is the issue.

By the way, about the only reason that meters fail is that the meter has been exposed to voltages and currents that they should not have been exposed to.

For example testing a circuit that has voltage on it, with the meter in the ohms position will pretty well blow any meter.

Using a very low current setting on a high current circuit will also blow most meters.

Or using the meter with a very low voltage setting on a high voltage circuit may also blow the meter.

Good luck and be safe

Poor solder connection on circuit board.

No, I have several good meters that will not blow, old ones might but the newer ones have circuit protection on many of them.

Using a very low current setting on a high current circuit will also blow most meters.

See above
