VLX Died - Blown fuse I think...

Was out at the lake tonight, running the two batteries through the isolator switch and having them both on, powering the system/amps/subs/tower lights when all of the sudden everything died and lost power.

I am guessing a fuse blew... I am going to run it to the dealer tomorrow.
Any input?

check the main circuit breaker first, should be on the engine, it's a red button.

I'd check that before going to the dealer...

The main 60amp braker had to be reset... Which means there is an electrical problem,

Tower lights... speakers... amps? Something. Sad

maybe running too much current? Seems rather wierd that they'd wire everything through the 60amp main fuse on the motor and not wire some of it direct with relays and seperate fuses.

I have had the same problem. My amps,lights and tank pumps were running. It was the main breaker. Alt is not strong enough. put in the bigger alt. seams ok

shawn scott, Yeah, that is what I was thinking! I believe this will help.

wakehype, Did you wire it yourself? Is it a professional job?

Hey guys... Thanks for the input.

My Malibu Dealer did the install on the speakers/lights/amps/subs. The only reason we did it through them was so we could finance the system along with the boat.

However, they SUCK at service.

We are going to take it somewhere else to have it done right....
