Chipmunk-Alero Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 Hate to start a new thread on this but posted on the FRF and got no response. Vehicle is a 99 Ford Ranger. I've done big threes in the past but not sure if I've seen a positive running through the fuse box before. It hooked into a 175 amp fuse next to the box. Now, my question is does it have to run through the fuse next to the under hood fuse box and can I change it to another amperage? Can I go my own way with it or will it not charge right? Please help, Thanks. 2001 Oldsmobile Alero 4Dr GL2 - R.I.P.2006 Dodge Charger R/TJVC KDx40AudioQ 2200d Big 3 and KNU 1/0 Fi BL 15" (09 model) 4.2 cuft net @ 33hz(15.8 sq in per cube) 1999 Ford Ranger XLTPioneer DEH-6200btRockford Fosgate T400-4, T1500-1bdCP, T1 6.5" Components, RCA's, Distro blocks.1 Fi Car Audio BL 12 - 2.5 cuft net @31hz(16.8 sq in per cube)XS Power S3400, 2 KNU 1/0 runs and KNU Big 3.

Markous Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 No i didn't go through the fusebox, i just re-used the old wire with the mickey mouse ears double ring terminal and connected it seperately.

Markous Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Grounded from battery to the motor on the same stud used by the factory and also from the alternator bracket to the passenger side strut. Might re-do that one on the strut though, not really sure what kind of metal to metal contact are there is there? I don't have a picture of the strut gounded but this is the alternator with everything hooked up.
