I love my showdown
« on: Dec 18, 2013, 06:12 PM »
In fact my buddy bought one when I showed him how my showndown  works on the screen,, the problem I had/have is you need fuses sometimes .. anysuggestions appreciated as 1 amp fuses are hard to find at radio shack ( use to get a pack of a few there for a few bucks) Radio shack doesn't stock them here by me anymore.. so I'm asking are 2 or 3 amp fuses are okay for this thing? Hoping tomorrow sears has them ::)

i read some fix's for that here and you might want to run it thru the search box
some thing about ensuring the battery is fully charged and crimping the spade connectors tighter so the are not so loose on the battery

Use a 3 amp fuse instead of the stock 2 amp. Usually fuse blows when charging/reconnecting.

After three seasons pro I know that.. to all reading this, been to three radio shacks and they have no stock like they use to.. I honestly think Radioshack is going bk soon.. do not buy the common stock imho

You can pick them up at any Auto parts store...2 or 3 amp. That's where I got mine.

I talked to the people at showdown and they said if you have a problem with fuses they have a new wire harness that is supposed to solve the problem.

yes thanks .. that i will do tomorrow, battery is charged and just need back up fuses in case it blows between overnight charging. Battery on its fourth season , i'm impressed..holds a charge because i tested it over last few weeks. I will see how well it holds this season soon.
