Hi Guys,
So my car died at a stop light in the middle of a 4 lane 55mph highway outside of Detroit. I figured it was something electrical because it all the check engine lights were cycling like crazy, the car wouldn't even crank, and cars that stopped next to me asked me to put my blinker on though it was already on.
Long story short, dealer that I was towed to said I needed a new fuse box, which they replaced $500 later. They said it was because of my HID conversion connection and advised that I take it down.
What do you guys think?
The lights (HID and LED fogs) are wired to draw directly from the battery, but with relays that draw input from the regular wiring. Actually I have the LEDs getting input from one of the fuses on the fuse box that stays on as far as the car is running using one of those add-a-fuse from ebay. Could that be the cause? Or is it wire I used (not sure what gauge, I've had them a while)?
Should I take it down? I don't want to spend money again replacing the fuse box, but I really like the lights as they are.
