akrja_07 Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Would this bolt be ok? And do I run it to the car or the battery negative? Thanks!

Gotloud555 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Everyones say it look o.k but to me it isn't. I'm not hatin'... I kinda hard to see how battery post are connected with the clamp. Usually it suppose to stay flat than vertical.. That wire you put on the engine head wouldn't seem do anything for grounding. The last picture you should on the alternator wouldn't be good spot for you grounding. Find a bolt on the engine block to the chassis..

akrja_07 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Well, I undid everything, something wasn't right, prob catchin a bad ground somewhere but it was weird, headlights were dimming BAD, even though voltage was staying between 13.4 and 14.1...? I'm just going to wait until I'm around someone that for sure knows what they're doin... Cuz I don't.

Gotloud555 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Because i told you that you connections isn't set right.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akrja_07 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Because i told you that you connections isn't set right.. Well, I never wired anything other than power to my alternator. So are you saying just that wire running to the top of the motor "wrong spot" could have caused the dimming? Or how everything is wired at the battery clamp? Sorry, just having a hard time understanding what you are saying...

Sorry, just having a hard time understanding what you are saying... The top wire on top the engine head look like it might not be good for grounding. Is connected to the chassis too. I assume you're trying complete the big 3. YOur positive wire isn't hook with the 0 guage would cause the light to dim for sure. Try hooking that up and see if the light doesn't dimm. THe last photo you posted for alternator would be good spot for the ground on it. FInd a bolt on the engine block.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akrja_07 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I appreciate your attempts to help but I am having trouble understanding what you are trying to say. All I really got from that was the black wire going to the top of the motor is not a good ground. There is a factory ground already there, so while it may not be the best ground, it's a ground. Are you just saying locate a better one? And the positive wire (0 gauge from alternator) was hooked to the positive on the battery, and fused @ 300 amps.

bassinblazer Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Dude, I know you are on a budget like everyone else, but get yourself some new damn terminals. That might be part of your problem. Quote BassinBlazer JL[RF][Kenwood][AQ] I need a new amp! Sell me your amp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
