Ok the other day I started my vehicle and went into work. I thought that I smelled something weird and didn't think much of it. Well after I got off work I started my vehicle to find that nothing in my console turned on. I opened the hood and found that my 100 amp circuit breaker was tripped. That was a couple of days ago. Well today I finally got a chance to look over all of the wiring. I thought it might have the relay that I have been using to tunr onn everything via the ignition. The relay is rated at 30 amps and I might have went over that a little bit. So today I installed another relay and fuse block thinking this might fix the problem. Nope the 100 amp ciruict breaker trips as soon as I reset it. As soon as I reset it the vehicle lights shut off, that is with the vehicle not running. When the vehicle is running I reset it and the lights tunr off and the engine seems to strain.
Here are the items that are installed:
110 watt motorola spectra
50 watt motorola astro
Uniden BCD996T
Whelen Cencom Gold
Wilson Cell Amp
Cig plugs for the console
Power Converter
Sirius radio
I have come to a couple of conclusions.
-The circuit breaker is overloaded or bad.
-The altenator is going bad.
-The battery needs changed.
-There might be a fuse blown somewhere.
-I might have a short somewhere that is tripping the circuit breaker.
Any suggestions or where I might start? I have done everything that I know, but thought some of you would help me out.
