Do these come with a fuse in them? I'd hate to throw the thing away if the voltage spikes from a bad connection or something

Yes it is fused. It takes one of the smaller size glass fuses like for the instrument lamps from a classic car.

No, it does not. But I assume it is easy to get a fuse from hardware store.

I wouldn't use them. they melted them selves to my socket and had to replace them. spend the extra money on good ones now and not in the long run replacing wires.

I have had this bulb in my car for a few months now and have not burned a fuse. The bulbs come with a driver (device that converts the incoming voltage to a compatible voltage) and there is no need for any load resistors unless you are using LED signal lights.

I don't know, mine was black and red. I would wire them up with a very small amp fuse and see if it turns on or blows the fuse. If it blows the fuse, switch the wires and try again.

These come with a spare fuse in the box. And you should be able to get replacement fuses in an electronics or hardware store.

Probably not. If they previously worked, and unless they have been severed, the problem is likely in the terminations, or end point connectors, or a junction box. Generally, the cable is still good, and the problem lies in some interconnecting device. Screws are loose, or clamping has come loose etc. Re do what ever the cable its connected to, you can check continuity with a multimeter if you you think there are breaks in the cable, but you already know there is electricity, because the outlays don't work, so redo what you can most easily get to first, assuming the cable is good for now, and work backwards, with the cable as an issue last. As mentioned, the cable is probably still good.

My came with two types of fuses, one of them was the correct one. There was no need for a relay, since one was already installed from the factory.

fyi.....led have the lowest draw of current but they still require a fuse for protection

I still have the initial fuses. Don't move it when it's working nor after working. It needs time to get cold. If you don't do that the fuses use to break.

I have 5 of these and did not install a fuse. I have discovered that for practicle installs >10 feet of wire, you need 6ga or double 10ga to reduce voltage loss. This is VERY important if setting up an MPPT system. Its still important for PWM. You can never have wires that are too thick.

if you connect them it will start a fire or blow circuits (fuses). do not try this

Yes that us the input voltage not the output . the output voltage is multiplied in the amp so the input voltage can stay low. If their is a direct short then it will pop the fuse instead of amp

Yes, they come with a nice 120-230VAC to 12VDC Adapter. If you wanted to you could connect to any other source of 12VDC. It is a great product.

We do not have fuses.our is hooked to a controller and it is hooked to battery.works awesome....

They don't! I have all 6 in my garage ...voltage is too high...not sure what they are meant for. Had to buy six more at a local battery store earlier this summer

No the are not. I used my old breakers and fuses when I installed the new unit.

Anderson - there is a fuse that can be seen in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASYoEiOf5x4Could be a simple fix.
