No 20 % is great. The 10% was just a arbitrary number. I must have missed the part where you said it was going to have a low warning sensor. You can stick me in line for a board if you do one, even though it will be awhile before I need one.

Dave, I was half joking in one of the earlier but the older I get themore crutches I need. How much harder to add a low warning indicator at say 10% full. I have become so accustom to them that a lot of the time I don't even notice the gague until the light pops on. Funny, when I was young I...

Dustoff, There is allways more than one way to do something, some better than others, some not. When you ask on a open forum like this, you are going to get the hole gambit of responces. If you want to put all of your fuses out at the source (battery) and use heavy gauge wire and appropriately...

Kit, I have no idea where calling you Gil came from my apologies. Bobby

Gil, Kudos to you for giving folks another option. I know when I get to that stage in my build I will have to do something, just wasn't sure what it was going to be. One of the issues with the existing mechanical IVR and I don't know about the solid state ones is the lack of meter dampening. It...

When I first read the link I thought cool, someone is going to wire all of the high current stuff up through some Triacs (basically a solid state relay just doesn't go click click). Then I continued reading and visions of smoke curls from the dash shook me into reality. Like the poll says don't...

My car has a MSD ignition system and the previous owner removed the glove box and installed the electronics there. Is this done because of heat inside the engine compartment and is protecting it from the normal engine bay heat that important. I have been thinking about moving it to the fender...

I agree with 67Dart. Just because you can or because it might work why not just do it right. Also absolutely no to the diode thing. In it's simplest form the diode rectifies AC to DC, every look at a power suply, AC out of the transformer through the diode and you end up with DC. Audio is AC so...

So far every answer is right. Yes you can, No, with switches and relays. The technicial answer would be no, not without knowing a lot of other things about the electronic circuits in both radios. If it just something you have to do then the simplest way is to use a double pole double throw...

The best advice so far is about the electrolytic capacitors. If I was going to start working on this I would be tempted to change every electrolytic capacitor in the unit. Unlike ceramic capacitors electrolytic's dry out with age. At that point the most common failure is they will short out, you...
