Testing the fuse array. Help!

[Outdrluvr28]

All,

I’ve searched google, this and the gladiator forum, and YouTube. I CANNOT find anyone or pictures/videos of how to actually test the fuse array. I’ve seen so many people comment on issues that are what I’m experiencing, and say to “test the array with a multimeter”….. I have a digital one, but I don’t know how to actually test the array as I would a relay or traditional fuse.

can anyone answer that has successfully tested the array, and how they did it? Please. Preferably pictures or a video?

I’ve installed two brand new batteries and replaced alternator, and I still get the warning that I need to park safely because the vehicle is going to turn off.

can anyone help guide meon a how-to test the fuse array?The year is a 2021.I really don’t want to take to a shop as it’s out of warranty now.
Thanks all. ??????

Set DVM to continuity, touch one lead to solid bar on top and with the other lead one at a time check for continuity at each of the tabs on the bottom.

You’re the man! That’s what I needed. I discovered I blew N3. Thanks so much. ?????

It’s just a bunch of fuses stuck together in one housing. There is nothing unusual about its construction or power distribution.

When you purchase replacement be sure to get the right one. There are at least 2 that I'm aware of.
You probably can find part number on yours.

BTW how do u know it was n3? As I just did a wire job for hard top install and having issues. What did the n3 on fuse array cause for you? Ty

a blown N3 fuse will prevent the alternator from charging the auxiliary battery, which then creates a whole host of issues. This almost always happens when battery cables are disconnected incorrectly.
