Default Blowing fuses for my e-cut out....

I put in my e cut out 2 days ago, and the first day it worked fine. The second day i blew a fuse, and put a new one in. it seems it blows everytime i try to close the cut out.

i have the power wire clamped to the cigarette lighter BTW.

does anyone know what could be going on. do you think it be a bad ground by any chance?.

I first would try to get a better power source and a good ground it might be trying to pull alittle to much power and blowing that fuse

1. shorting out somewhere, check the wires from the switch and where you clamped in for juice, make sure your juice and ground is all wraped up with electrical tape. If its not that- then the cig lighter / radio curcuit might not be a good source for + to supply your ecut out motor. My current ecut out works fine (+ from cig lighter) the one before was blowing out fuses left and right. Just wire in directly from battery or some other curcuit with a higher amperage fuse.

I used the cig lighter, and it was fine. There must be a short somewhere.........

Is the cutout opening and closing properly and is the motor ok?
