First of all, you should never install a fuse with a higher amperage rating than what is specified. Fuses are designed to blow at a certain amperage rating to protect the rest of the circuit. If the fuse keeps blowing,...

The VDC and Slip Light illumination could be an indication that you are getting low on brake fluid, due to worn brake pads. Low brake fluid could cause the throttle control to kick in when a sudden vehicle movement is...

If the battery starts out at 12 volts and is dropping to 7 or 8 volts, then you have a bad battery. When cranking, it shouldn't fall below 9.6 volts. There may be other issues at hand, but the numbers...
