Well I really know crap about amps so hopefully I can get some help trouble shooting. Was taking the backseat and stuff out so I could Second Skin the rear of the cab. I removed the amp from the wall and started undoing the wires and like a tard I didnt disconnect the battery. Well the ground wire and battery wire that connects to the back of the amp touched. A nice spark or two and pulled the wires apart since they fused together a little. Well then I disconnected the battery then,duh!
Anyways finished up the job and connected everything up and nadda. Did I blow something as simple as a fuse(I hope) or did I do something worse?
Is there way to tell if the fuses are shot? There are 2 fuses rated at 30.
I have a Alpine V12 amp if that helps.
Thanks for any tips or help.

 

I'm sure the amp is fine. Check your fuses on the amp & also check the fuse under the hood near the battery. You should have an inline fuse mounted somewhere around the battery just in case you weren't sure or know about it.

 

check all your fuses

 

I pulled the two fuses out. What do I have to look for to see if there blown or not? I do have the inline fuse 3M to the edge of my battery. I did not know exactly what it was for. Im a dud with amps right now as far as tweaking them ect. but I will learn and this is a good start.

 

Look at the fuse & see if the wire is broke apart in the fuse. If it is, your fused is blowed & it won't let current flow through it.

 

OK I went and pulled the 60amp fuse out from under the hood and have the 2 30amp ones from the amp and I dont see anything. I assume the wire in the fuse you are talking about is the 60 amp one? Inside the gree housing its just the two prongs and the center portion is S shaped. What am I overlooking?

 

In the little blade type fuses (30 amp), look to see if that "s" is intact and not burnt through.

On your bigger fuse (60 amp)...whether it's a ANL or AGU type fuse...just look in the middle to see if the wire or small flat piece of metal is burnt through. If the metal/wire is burnt through...then you have a blown fuse.

 

Hmmm I checked all fuses and all center portions are in tact and still silver in color.
I checked to make sure the wire running from the battery(white)was in the battery slot and the gray/dark was in the ground and yes. That was before I pulled the fuses.
Well I guess tommorrow I will reconnect everything and re-install the fuses and see whats up?
Things that make you go hmmmm

 

What type of amp are you running? It may also have fuses that could have blown.
