Hey guys,

I relocated my battery to trunk and I've had the power cut on me 2 times now. I ran 0 gauge Cadance wires in the following order.

battery positive > 150 amp circuit breaker > harness and starter.

What's happening is that suddenly the long wire from the breaker to the harness and starter looses continuity and therefor cuts all power. I'm not getting any voltage from the engine bay connection. I am getting voltage to the break though. Today it happened when I was driving and I gave it about half throttle and I lost all electrical power.

Is it shitty wire that's causing this? Is it a harness problem?

I have a 2g Auto GSX
 
Did you ground the battery back at the trunk? Did you run a wire all the way from the breaker to the wires in the engine bay? When they are connected did you put the hot wires in an isolated distribution block.

Something is grounding out. Most likely it a hot wire some where.
