ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Little burned out box

    Alright, more than likely the following will mean nothing with out a picture. I am getting my sister's camera tomorrow, so i will have a picture up then.

    Anyway... My car won't hold a charge. I mean for more than 20 minutes tops. I just replaced the old battery with a new Napa battery. I am going to check my alternator terminal to the battery and my cables. Today I was cleaning the engine because I forgot my Ohm meter at my other house, when I came across a thin box completely covered in what seems to be 15 years of grime. This little box is bolted to the passenger side wall of the engine bay. It is connected via four little wires to a cluster of wires coming off of the main fuse box. I cleaned it off, to reveal a clear encasing, and inside it held a couple strips of metal, which reminded me of a fuse...only this "fuse" is about 5 times larger. These strips of metal are severely broken and on the top and bottom the "fuse" seems to be blown.

    I do not know if this serves any bit of help to those technically and patiently inclined members here. I should have a picture up tomorrow night. I was wondering if this "fuse" could be responsible for the loss of charge.

    Thanks and sorry guys.

    sounds like the last owner put in a fuse box aftermarket... those longer fuses are old school, everything new is the blade style fuses. Who knows why its there. ive never seen one in a CB7 before.
    I cant Slam further. The ground refuses to get any lower.
