So yes, lower volume will allow it to recover. It will probly take .0000054 seconds or so, so be paitiant. Ok You installed a cap cause your lights were dimming? Once the cap was installed and charged and with "sparks flyting" your dimming worries cleared up? Then what happened 2-3 weeks ago? Lights started dimming again? If thats the case check your Alternator and battery. They may be going for a long vacation. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 5936 Registered: Nov-04 | Caps can be useful if used as designed. To charge a cap properly, use any 12v light bulb. Connect it in series to the battery. When it's fully charged, the light will go out. Now if you connect it to the power, there will be no sparks. |
