So in my excitement to fire up the Talon I hooked up my battery - only to hear the 100amp Alt fuse pop when the positive was hooked up. Instantly I thought " Alright, so I have a ground at the Alternator." Well, as luck would have it I haven't eyeballed a properly installed Alternator in a while and I have two questions.
1 : Charge Post - On my charge post from the Alternator I have a plastic ring. However on the post itself, there is a nut - then the charge wire, and then another nut on top of the charge wire to hold it on. I can't recall if there should be a rubber washer between the bottom nut and the charge wire or not.
2 : I have a large flat metal ground with an 8-10mm nut through it. I cannot recall where this should bolt, but I assume it is the ground for the Alternator? (Seen hanging above the oil filter.)
If someone could share with me how this wires up or share a picture (as google has failed me apparently) it would be highly appreciated! Luckily I have a spare 100amp fuse ready to go, just don't want to blow it through trial and error.
