I'am sorry the breaker blows with just the lights, as soon as I change the connection from 14 volts to 10 volts. MONK

The 4 amp breaker on the left side blows with the power on & the handle turned down & as soon as I touch the wires to the terminals.

thank you MONK

I'm still not understanding what you're seeing.

There are 4 breakers on the Z4000.  There is a 12A and 4A on the left rear side (Left when looking from the front of the Z4K).  These are for Track 1 (left throttle handle) and 14V.  There is a 12A and 4A on the right rear side.  There are for Track 2 (right throttle handle) and 10V.

The above photo of the Z4K outputs is from the current MTH website suggesting 3A capability on the 10V and 14V outputs.  I'm not familiar with other revisions of the Z4K that have only 1.5A for 10V and 14V as suggested in the photo by hokie71.

You say the 4A breaker on the left side immediately trips when you attach the lights.  Is this attaching to the 10V output or the 14V output or the Track 1 output?  It's confusing that the 14V 4A breaker (left side) would trip when hooking up to the 10V output or the Track 1 output.
