Oh man. Was a Frys (remember them) and saw the still car parts and though I could buy the two power resisters that Fromel changes as part of the kit. Mine have blackened the PCB. Picked up a pair 5w4.7r and soldered them in with a little standoff as they are supposed to be. Fired it up, 10 seconds in, smoking. Turned it off.
Two diodes got so hot they de-soldered themselves, one of the power resistors did the same, ruining the pad in the process. Nice work genius.
So, the original are 5w470r. Replaced with 5w4.7r. Ive got some work to to put it back correctly but this is my learn by mistake project.
Ive got the diodes back in, ran out of time to reinstall the 5w470rs that I removed.
How big of a dumbass move was that?
