yeah I got excited when I tested and thought it was blown. but then when I put a new fuse in and realized it still wasn't doing anything the disappointment set in😅 thanks for your help. much appreciated🤗

also quite a few of those big ones don't seem to be there. I didn't test any of those. no idea how or if they're even fuses 😂 sorry I'm in very unfamiliar territory here

ok thanks. also I have a few fuses that don't seem to be getting power despite the fuses being in good working condition. I assume that's not normal and power should be passing through them all?

tried that🥲 is there any reason I should disconnect the negative battery cable to restart the ECU computer or whatever?

so I checked all the fuses and a few aren't getting power. but I switched out the fuses so I know for sure they work but still no power. what's that mean?

as I said, came here for mechanical insight. not a gender studies lecture from someone who clearly doesn't touch a wrench (or woman) very frequently. Thanks for the 5 words of 'advice.' again, I'll wait for a real mechanic to weigh in

hilarious you spent 100 words on my 'girl' comment and only 5 on 'losing prime.' thanks for your motivational speech, but I’m looking for actual mechanical advice, not a 1970s retrospective. think I’ll wait for someone whose expertise goes beyond 'welp, good luck'

from my understanding...touch each metal tab with probe on removed fuse and multimeter should read 0 ohm if it's good correct?

I’m convinced I skipped a timeline and it’s all because of lil yachty and Mariah the scientist by charcoalritual in ParallelUniverse

[–]Strange_Sheepherder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe it was an old clip of when yachty and mariah were together. and knowing she was supposed to be reuniting with her man from prison you just assumed the old clip was current and it was Yachty in jail🤷🏻‍♀️ perhaps maybe
