Default My Ranger blowing 5 amp fuse.

Chuck, interesting idea using the relay. I will keep your message. I
am going to try the Thermistor and see if that will do the trick. The
concern I have with the Thermistor is if it will handle the current
that the Ranger draws and if it may cause poor regulation in the AC
side. I am going today and pickup a couple of the CL-90 Thermistors
and give them a try. I will report back possibly SUnday with the
results. If the Thermistor doesnt work, I may build up something like
your relay idea into an external metal box and use this. 73, Randy


If you are going to put the relay in an external box, use a 555 timer
to control the relay's coil.
