VHO ballast keeps blowing fuses

[Clownguy]

Hi Evereybody, I have a 7 or 8 year old Icecap 660 ballast that has worked fine. Well, I came home yesterday afternoon and my VHO's were off. I found that he fuse had blown. I went to home depot and got more and they all blow as soon as I plug in the balast. Any suggestions why this might be happening. The wiring harness is old too, but why would it start to blow fuses out of the middle of no where? Thanks in advance.

Chris,

Check salt creap up on the endcaps. I had my 660 do this to me, and when I removed one of my VHO bulbs, I found the endcap had saltcreap inside it... and that was my culprit.

I will go check right now. Thanks

also talk to IceCap. I had to send mine back to them when it was doing similar. They did some internal fixes and upgrades and it's been solid since. Fast turnaround too.
