Hi Guys, wondering if anyone can help with a bit of electrical advice.
I have a PC in my car, that runs from a car power supply that is linked to a switch on the dash that when on, tells the PSU to power up, and when off sends a shutdown command to the PC.
I had an issue with when using my CB, it turns off the PC, and at the weekend I rewired everything, and fitted a second battery with a T-Max split charger.
Everything works fine; apart from I am still getting the problem with the CB turning the PC off.
The CB is on its own wire, running from the new fusebox I fitted, to the auxiliary battery.
The switches on the dash that power things like my rear work light and the PC have LEDs in them, and I notice that when I use the CB, the LEDs in the switches glow very faintly. These switches are powered from a separate feed that runs the switches that then go back to the relays that power stuff.
Could something be happening where there is some sort of feedback running back up the wires when the CB is used? I cant think of what could be causing this kind of issue, but I am sure someone with more experience may be able to help.
Was thinking about fitting diodes to the power feeds for the CB, but not sure if that would solve the problem.
Any help or advice would be great, or if you have any more questions about the setup, please ask.
Thanks guys!
