jaycee Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 heard loud pop, fuse blew and now i have a dead short on the main switch live, whats the worst i could have done? ECU, but hopefully the fuse would have taken the brunt. Perhaps the kill-switch or the ignition relay have been damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeeTeeArr Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 What sort of welder were you using? Is there a chance a bit of weld spatter could have hit your main cable and melted through earthing it to the frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
