Alt to battery positive quick question

[Bobby322 10+ year member]

Doing 1 of the big 3 right now. Im pretty sure I found the pos. on my alt lol. I followed the wire and it goes into my fuse box. Is this normal? Just making sure it is the alt. pos before I go connecting wires. Ill just connect alt to battery positive. Thanks

That doesnt sound right. I know on mine, there's a place to connect an o ring with a bolt. Why only doing 1 of the big 3?

The wire coming off it actually goes to another little box with a platic clip on it next to the fuse box. Here are some pics:

On the alt:

By the fuse box:

my alt positive goes into the fuse box. i just took 0 gauge straight to my battery positive and fused it in between. you dont have to go through the fuse block on the alt positive to battery positive connection.

Well if I am on the right wire, which of the spots to I connect to? Straight from alt? or From the other spot next the the fuse box?

from alt to batt nothing in between except the in line fuse block

So ignore the other box and go straight from alt?

alt to batt nothing in between also make the fuse on that line as close to alts amps as possible my alt is 80 but i have an 100 amp fuse

Fuse optional?

 

[tristincole07 10+ year member]

no

Fuse optional?

if you dont have a fuse wait and get one just leave it as is or fix where driveable and wait that is very important

from the sticky:

"If you decide to fuse the Alternator Positive to Battery Positive wire, you’ll need a fuse and fuse holder."

Sounds optional?
