no it doesnt! maybe if your stereos still on it might if you lift it up and then touch it back down..

the reason the power sparks when instaling the fuse is because the capacitors inside the electroncis need to suck some juice to charge, thats what makes it spark when hooking up equipment which can leave a black spark mark on the equipment.

the safest way is like i said with using a light tester to charge the capacitors slowly.

 

Yeah I plan on watching every step he makes. Last thing I need is an electrical meltdown. (sarcasm) ..even thoug it's fun as hell trying on your own..

 

Haha, it's pretty fun as long as you know what you're doing man.
but yea, just watch him, ask questions, go to the bookstore and look up some books even.
Get to the components that you are working with.

 

well if you realy do want to learn.... check out...

thats a great place to start!
2nd place to check out is.

also a great site about electrical!

 

Jesus thank you...it gets so annoying that few people truly understand things
a spark in the case of removing/placing a fuse is just electrons jumping through the air and/or a neutral object just getting an influx of energy, doesn't at all mean it's damaging

as well, removing the fuse is the exact same thing as undoing the battery mobsta
By doing so, you remove any current from the other end of that cable
the only thing remotely possible to consider is the car's overall ground going back to the battery, in which case is probably not that bad of a thing

 

I have fried two fuses from the amp doing it that way.

 

Yeah, removing the fuse isn't the best. I always remove the negative, then remove the fuse. Then when you're done, do the same in the opposite way. That way, it's like you're removed both terminals, but no sparks (except maybe a tiny one when you put the neg. terminal back on.)

Read up, and try it yourself man. It's worth the time to know how it works if you have a problem down the road.

 

This thread was entirely too long :-)
