Guest Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'm the new proud owner of a 2000, k series supersport with 135bhp. However the fuse on the circuit that feeds the starter motor seems to blow if I have used the red battery Isolator switch. I think there must be surge when it makes or breaks the power. Anyone else had the same problem or suggestions how to fix. It's a 20 amp fuse will be now will be trying a 25 amp to see if that fixes it.

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Be wary of increasing the fuse rating ....... you could melt the wiring if there is a fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Are you using the red switch to turn the engine off or do you have ignition keys for that? Check that your red battery switch has a big resistor across it (should be about 30mm long and 8mm square, white rectangle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Only using the isolator switch once engine is off and immobiliser set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 If it is the ECU fuse .... then there was a tech bulletin from CC to uprate it from 20A to 30A a few years ago. Not aware of a specific fuse for starter circuit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Did the tech update simple say replace with 30 amp fuse or was there other work that had to be done - where would I find a copy of the tech update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Just change the fuse. We all have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted May 16, 2014 Member Share Posted May 16, 2014 We're all thinking the same but it would be good to check we're talking about the same fuse. I think it's probably number 14 at the end of the fusebox on your car... Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
