i need to start the wiring part of my CMC car build. the only factory wiring thats gonna be used is the engine harness.
i guess when wiring a car, the first place to start is the battery and go from there. when wiring in a master cut-off switch, is it as simple a putting it inline w/ the positive battery lead? i think the alternator feed needs to be on the battery side of the disconect switch, right? i also plan to put the PCM BAT lead there also. one thing i keep seeing reference to is something to protect the alternator when this switch is flipped. what needs to be done here? tell me what you know on this please. |

QUOTE (rmackintosh @ Nov 29 2004, 10:44 AM) I bought a 4 pole kill switch. It has 2 big leads for the battery. And two smaller leads for the alternator "power wire" (the little red wire that turns the alternator on). This is on my to-do list as well. Just wondering what gauge wire are you guys are running for the alternator leads? |
