Default Thanks gang!!!

So I was running through some old posts the other night and on one of the threads there was mention of a fuse in the Guest battery charger on our Formulas. I had tried to get the batteries charged last week in a hurry and the charger didn't seem to be working-but the light was on. Anyhow, the thread mentioned the fuse and the same symptoms. So I go down today, look for the fuse and voila-it's toast. One new fuse and the charger is cranking out the juice I probably would have chucked the thing and started over if I hadn't seen the thread, more beer money! Thanks again guys, i still love this place after all these years

If I remember correctly, there is a small flap door on the lower end of the face of the charger with a fuse (or fuses). Also check under the seat starboard side for main shorepower breaker, port side for battery switch and accessory breaker.

If you can't find the problem, PM WAGS382 ... he had a problem with his charger and is good at troubleshooting things like this.

Where exactly is that fuse? Mine is doing the same thing, light on, no charge.

Cuda, on the end of the charger where the wiring goes is a plastic cover held on by one small screw. Remove the screw and the end of the charger is then open- in there are the wiring posts and the fuse holder It should be the same rating as your charger-mine is 15 amps. Rob, the stereo has lots of issues, I got it working pretty good, but upgraded the head unit, I think I will redo the amp wiring this winter-the good stuff is there it just needs a little massaging We need to hook up soon and I'll get that stuff out of your garage

okie dokie, the garage is empty so its no biggie, it can stay till spring if you need to. I was trying to hook up w/ art but time got away. I'll be in vegas next week so I may have to have the motors pulled on the Tiger while I'm out of town. get them done and then back in then have art fine tune it in the spring...

Oh and if those subs are shot, I have 3 more in the shop
