P1000 I screwed up.

[bumperm]

Yup, there are but two possibilities, fuse is open (blown) or you didn't get the meter leads in contact properly.

I kind of thought the same thing. With his lack of experience using a meter, I suggested remove and visually confirm it is blown.
At $15-20 ea, it is cheap enough to pull the parts cannon, but waiting a week for a fuse sucks.

I checked it this morning before leaving for work, and I looked pretty closely.. I touched both 10mm bolts first, then I touched the brass tabs under each bolt also. Neither way made the meter move at all.

Totally off the subject here, but is that a PA-18 in your avatar?

No, good guess though! It's a 2005 Aviat Husky A-1B on one of the mountain tops in NV's Pinenut range. Here's one camping on Blue Wing Dry Lake. In Nevada it's easy to get to the middle of nowhere in no time at all:

Ah... so it's not an "old" supercub... it's a new and improved Supercub! You lucky SOB! I should have gotten my license years ago... my dad was an A&P for years. We had a J-5 and a J-3. He recovered the J-3 in our garage haha!
This was back when I was very young, but Dad, mom, my little brother and I would cram into the J-5 & fly up into the Oregon Cascades & land at one of the several remote strips my dad knew about... have a picnic lunch... my little bro & I would hike around & shoot squirrels.. great memories man! Great lookin plane!
How much HP?

 

[Neohio]

For future reference, my machine shows battery voltage on the bolts.

 

[bumperm]

How much HP?

Lycoming O-360, 180HP with Powerflow exhaust (headers-which adds a few hp), 2-blade composite constant speed prop.

 

[mjn]

Well.. THAT should work!!

I'm jealous BIG time!

 

[mjn]

And THIS folks, is what a 55$ fuse looks like.

but hey... it worked. Neither the i4wd or EPS fuse had blown.

Why 55$ you say?
'Cause that's what it costs to pay retail & get all 3 overnight here in good ol' Washington state. 🙄

oh well. If anyone needs the other two, let me know. 😆
Thanks again for all the help!!

$55 is still cheaper than an hr at the dealer!

Had a full head of hair before electrical problems. Now, I'm uncle Fester.
But I'll take you up on the offer for a 50A spare. You deliver when ordered?

 

[P1K5Dave]

All is good now mjn? I'd be wary that somewhere, something else is trippy. Have you been able to run around for a while with no problems or lights?

I didn't run it a ton... pulled the garbage can up tonite... then took a second run to get the mail.. I mean.. driveway is about 1200' long, but everything seemed to function as it should so far.
If I get the time, I'll try out the i4WD tomorrow to make sure..

 

[Teazr]

Make sure you check the charging system
Don't know about SxS but some cars take out the main fuse and alternator when hooked up backwards
That's all I have seen with the ones I have fixed for customers
If its running and no silly dash lights your probably good

50a looks like a modified j case fuse. It may be bolted in though, i didn't try to remove it.

Parts breakdown looks like it is bolted in.

Is there anywhere you can get these other than Honda? You say modified J case, but I didn’t see anything on it other than 50 Amp 32 VDC. No part numbers.

 

[bumperm]

That fuse should cost about 10 bucks. It's almost a certainty that Honda didn't spec it weird, as there's so many available already on the market. Just measure dimensions and get one with the same spec. Here's an example (though don't know if it's the right one for sure): Fuse 50 amp 32 volt

I have those. The holes aren’t the same distance apart as the Honda one.

Hi all. I did the same thing last night. Replaced my battery with Motobat and thought I had the polarity correct until I installed it, the whole laying it on its side messed me up. Dead SxS and 50 amp fuse blown. I ‘think’ I found a replacement from O’Reilly’s. Its a Littelfuse part number is MID50. I’m picking a couple up tonight. Has anyone used these fuses and do they fit? I’m hoping the fuse is the only thing I blew.
