Hello

Finally sorted through my alternator not charging but now don’t have any power to my interior lights, door locks or radio. I’ve completely bypassed the fuse box with the alternator power and have it going to an inline 100amp so the one circled in red in the box has no feeds to it. Since this I have had these issues but it seems like the other items should be related as they have their own dedicated fuses.

I have one white with black wire that’s not connected in the fuse box, can anyone confirm what this is or where it goes, maybe this is the reason?

If you look at the power distribution system for the 95 you'll note that there are two main power busses in the fuse box, one from the battery to the 100A alternator fuse (#1) that connects to the alternator at feeds Fusible Links #2, #9, the power seats, AC, Inside Lighting, starting, Cruise, windows, and Radio. The other buss from the battery to the Fusible Links #4, #5, #6, #7, #8.

For the car to function these both need to be connected to the battery.

I only found one large White/Black wire in the power distribution. Comes off the 60A Fusible link #2 and it feeds the two dedicated fuses #8 and #11 via a pair of wires (one Red the other Red/Black) which feed a whole bunch of things and it feeds a few more via the Multi-Purpose fuses #1, #5, #8, #10, and #11.

Which side of the White/Black wire fried, before or after the junction?

I don't know why but your eletrical FSM looks diferent than mine, can you share this one? And I have a really big problem now, my father doesn't shared this information earlier and just send the car to a mechanic, and probaly just mend a random positive to the ignition. I will search more deep.
