ARB electric solenoid and blowing fuses???

[yunit]

Well, I had the truck out yesterday for the first time in almost two years and everything ran great all day. When everyone talked me into hit this trail called Crawler Ridge at Rausch Creek Offroad Park, I blew two fuses for the ARB switch. The truck was almost at about a 75 or better degree angle heading up the rocks when this happened. Has anyone else blow fuses while climbing large obstacles?

Also, the steering pump does not seem to like being at that angle either, it was getting a little hard to steer the truck at that angle.

do you have a remote res for the pump? I forget. If you don't I would think at that angle the air thats normally at the top of the pump gets down in there and airates the fluid.

Never had an issue with the solenoid blowing fuses.
What amp fuses is it blowing? Try a bigger one?

Your ARB should be on its own circut. No other Acc. etc. running on that circut.

Fluid level/ Remote res? Do you have hydro assist?

Yeah, the ARB is on it's own circuit, but goes through the fuse panel. Just going to run a directline with a fuse to the battery since it the battery is behind my seat now, hopefuly that cures the problem.

I am running hydro assist and hydro boost, going to hookup a second pump to run just the brakes.

Anyone have any suggestions for a remote res?
