ok, so my 10A (bat) "Electrical Parts" fuse keeps blowing.

noticible effects:

- clock on tachometer is out (but backlight stil works)

- radio doesnt work at all

- digital a/c panel does not hold memory (i.e. when i turn the car off and then on again, the temperature, fan, and mode settings are all reset)

any thoughts on what it could be?

fiddled with the radio lately?

no. i installed it a couple years ago and it all worked fine. it's only recently that the fuse went.

i've checked all radio connections for breaks and all ground connections.

my next step is to check the connections behind the cluster

are you overloading the cig lighter plug in ?? does it still work ?? lots of people use the wires for radios/turbo timers/aftermarket stuff and dont consider the fuse sizes ??

I would guess your radio or something connected to the same circuit is shorting out or pulling too much power (dodgy car alarm/radio install maybe?)

check the metal bracket around the radio for spark marks ? or loose red/yellow power wires on the radio ? bad ground on the radio ?

The same thing is happening to my r32...

The 10A fuse blows straight away... My cd player wont turn on, my aircon unit wont hold its memory and my dash clock will light up but not show anything! It happened to me after my mechanic replayed my aircons compressor bearing... He also had a look at my relays to see if they were stuffed and the wires coming off underneath my Aircon relay seems to be melted to gether slightly. So im wondering if the cd player, clock and air con have a linked live feed that comes from the air con relay? Any thoughts would be appreciated heaps.. :(

    • See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.
    • That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.
    • Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.
    • interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
