Previous owner installed wire jumping two fuses??? (2 Viewers)

[nc116]

Please help... Ignore the fact that some fuses are incorrect (I fixed them) and this was a terrible job. I was trying to figure out this jumper that was installed and it's bizarre.

Important note is when I removed it, the truck would not start though all electric works as though it would. Had to reinstall the wire to even turn truck back on.

You don't provide much to go on here (like model, year, fuse labels). Just a guess - is it jumping the EFI fuse?

Oh wow sorry. I asked on facebook and realized I didn't copy all the info. (BTW all the responses on facebook were dumb jokes).

2006 tacoma 4wd. the 7.5A is the gauge fuse (meter and gauge, emergency flashers) and the 20A is the 4wd fuse (four-wheel drive system, rear diff lock system).

Only mods that I know of are led fog lights that are plug and play. Has factory rear locker too.

Looks like the hot from one to the cold of the other keeping it hot. Maybe full time rear locker?

Seriously. Remove the fücking wire and see what changes. Running the 20a into a 7.5a hole is a fire looking for a place to happen.

Sure it’s not the 7.5 into the 20a?

Regardless. The fact there is uninsulated current there should be enough.

Sounds like he DID remove it, and the truck won't start.

Need to get that fixed (non-start). Like, right away. As in, if you have recently purchased this truck, you need to take it back and tell them they sold you a defective and dangerous vehicle. Having a bare wire like that is just asking for trouble, and eventually it will leave you stranded somewhere.

Just for your info I suggest you pull that wire, remove the fuses in question then turn key on and test the two sockets to see which one isn't operating correctly. Perhaps then you can start to trace the issue. Under no circumstances should the uninsulated wire remain.
