Where is the best place to put the fuse for the system? I've heard that doing this is great because then the big cable going under the car to the front is only energized during starting. I plan on relocating the solenoid to use in the trunk by the battery, so I'll go battery + to the solenoid. ![]() The electric fans have relays and fuses but are wired to the battery instead of this solenoid/distribution point for optimal alternator amp draw like I think they should be. Alternator wire goes to it, from it goes a wire to the battery and another to the starter (2 other small wires too). All are 1/0 gauge in black.Ĭurrently, the previous owner has installed a starter solenoid as a distribution block on the radiator support on the driver's side. New ground cables: Battery to the body, body to engine, & body to the radiator support. Remote starter solenoid - currently on the radiator support Pollak battery disconnect switch (NHRA) w/pigtail to keep power to the radio - mounted on tail panel Odyssey battery, NHRA Moroso battery box w/pad (NHRA) New 1 wire alternator (replacing my externally regulated alt) - already installed ![]() Only thing I don't have is an electric water pump and power windows. Also, I live in the CA desert where it can be 125F, stuck in traffic, with literally ALL of that running simultaneously. I'm running a ton of modern stuff that needs GOOD power: Dakota VHX gauges, Dakota digital fan controller, dual electric radiator fans, VintageAir A/C & heater, fans on my transmission & oil coolers, LED headlights & all LED bulbs everywhere else all over the car, Holley Terminator Stealth EFI & fuel pump, and eventually I'll add a mild stereo system. I want to do everything right (correcting what the previous owner did) and the first step in that will be relocating the battery to my trunk behind the rear passenger seat (I need the space under the hood). I need to get my sh*t in order before my car burns down. First off, I'm really a dumb simpleton and a total newb when it comes to electrical, so when helping PLEASE spell it out for me like I'm a child.
