Electrical fried for third time

First you want to bypass the amp meter, they are nothing but trouble; go to www.madelectrical.com and you will get great info. I would run my stereo amp thru a relay, if you order a relay kit thru mad it comes with a collection of wiring diagrams. Basically your amp will then be powered directly by connecting to the starter relay. Peace

Definately.Defiantely.Definately bypass your amp gauge. That is a fire waiting to happen if you have a large pull on your charging system, it barely got the job done running the stock electrical equipment. Are you running a aftermarket/upgraded alternator? If so, it will make the load on the amp gauge higher causing more issues on a stock system, but when you bypass the amp gauge (which you really should) i'd suggest a upgraded alternator to kick out what you need. Also, if you don't bypass it soon, do yourself a favor and keep a fire extinuguisher in the car....damhik, i carry one from a previous experience.

And being young myself, ive defiantely figured out to do things by yourself rather than paying someone. Your $500 sounds like it was wasted, anytime i paid someone for work i

A) Didn't learn anything, became more dependant on people that did (aka shops)

B) Cost me multiple times what i would cost me to do.

C) I usually wasn't satisfied with the work

between the tech here, and i'd also recommend q&a on moparts has helped a lot. You'll be able to get the info you need to do work yourself :headbang:
