Last time in Renfrew I was airing up and the Zuki just shut off with an electrical issue.
Today I found the source....an overloaded blade extender. I didn't see
the melted goop underneath the connector until I was troubleshooting a
single dim headlight issue (which is always the headlight fuse not
seating correctly).
All the extender had on it was my CB and it
didn't pop the fuse. I did transmit a few times during the day it died,
but I don't think a 4W transmit would take that
much current overall, even with the overhead of running the rest of the
radios electronics. But still my bad for over rating the extender with a
15A fuse.
So, those crappy extenders are GONE and I added a relay-switched accessory fuse box. Moved all of my accessories to it and had a general wiring tidy up....more tidying to come.
