2G Battery cable

[Steven A Schiltz]

So here my question do the battery cables that go from the battery to the starter and from the battery to the starter do they have inline fuse links?

Or just straight is so was amp are they. First fsm and the previous owner decided to do his own wiring

Battery to the alternator I ment, I see I put the same this twice

No inline fuses that I've ever seen. Just a solid wire from one end to the other.

Ok thanks

I swear the oem wiring for the alternator is fusible link wiring so that the internal metal wire (it's a pair of white insulated wires) will melt/fail in overload conditions. I have this vague recollection of discovering that in my research when I was designing my alternator/battery rewire.

If you're wondering if you should put a fuse of some kind between the alternator and everything else you absolutely should.

I'm going to but I was trying to find the fuse size was trying to go threw wiring diagrams to find the size but had really no luck for the main wires. I was thinking about doing either a 100 or a 120 amp for the alternator and like a 60 amp for the starter

The starter would need more like a 175 amp rather than a 60.

Stock wiring already has a fusible link for the alternator. Its even labeled as such and its bolt in.

Well the previous owner did a battery relocation with amp wire and there no protection in the wires and I want to add the protection so I was just trying to find what fuses to use. This car is no where near the stock wiring haha been going behind him for almost a year because I keep finding more and more wiring problems (face palm) the guy did it as a cheap build and I know and what I'm figuring out you need some know how to maintain and repair these cars and kinda need some know how to do so. So this website has really help.

Isn’t there a starter relay though? Or am I over thinking and that’s from the ignition to the starter signal wire?

 

[Steven A Schiltz]

There is but I'm talking about the main wires the big red ones that come off the battery positive
