I got my nitrous all hooked up today and everything tested fine. hooked power up to the solenoid and tested again and blew my inline fuse. The solenoid woulnt open when given power and kept blowing fuses. Is it possible that it can have a short in the coil? What else would cause it to draw such high amperage while still not working? Its only supposed to draw 8.6 amps and it blew a 10 15 and a 25 amp fuse? Bad coil? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Nate
