[QUOTE="Vital, post: 7161719, member: 608955"] About to do my first BIG3 which is very simple but not when it comes to fuses. I always see "make sure to have a fuse next to your battery that whould match amps from the alternator" in every big3 "how-to" Here's what i don't understand - alt is what's powering the battery, not the other way around. So current is coming FROM alt to bat which logically means that fuse should be next to the alternator, not battery, no ? If you look at it further (and correct me if i'm wrong on this) in case anything happens to the wire and let's say it gets cut somewhere in the middle of it's run battery will now pump jiuce out of it just like it does with any other wire connected to it's positive terminal post. SO there should ALSO be a fuse next to the battery. Not sure how many amps fuse but i'd guess the same as your "next to alt" fuse. Yes? No? Am i missing something here? [/QUOTE]
