[QUOTE="req, post: 804761, member: 555713"] take a look at your alternator. there is ONE wire connected to it. if that wire is the ONLY wire on that bolt, that bolt is the charging OUTPUT bolt. twist the nut off, get some 0 guage with a ring crimp, and put it on that bolt. then snake the wire someplace SAFE to your posative battery terminal. fuse it near the alt if you want (good practice) then reground your battery (if you can to the engine mount or somthing directly bolted to the engine) but make it as short as possible within SAFE and LOGICAL reason (dont put wire over\on the header or exaust manifolds or hot areas) we dont want shit to start melting and catching on fire. //EDIT even better. take a DMM and test that with VDC (ground the black terminal) if it reads 12v when the car is off, and 14v-ish when the car is on, that SHOULD be your wire.
