Miguels Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Big 3 is not cutting wire its replacing with heavier gauge. Hell they might have fried your alt. Just doesnt make sense splicing the wire unless they shorted something out. What ever happend i dam sure would make that shop pay for it. the Big 3 is not cutting or replacing any stock wire.. its adding more to it. you still need to keep the stock wire nut just cut it my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguels Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 no no no.. the alt has a 4 gauge wire that goes to a relay or fuse box. from there after it gets fused it goes to the battery.. then another 4 gauge wire goes to the starter.. you never ever want to replace them when you do your big 3.. the big 3 only adds 1 run to the alt charge wire 1 to the alt case for direct ground and 1 more run to the frame or engine. removing stock wire will give you more issues.. someone did that to mine and its hard to keep 12v on my dash electrical due to not having the 4 gauge from alt to fuse/relay box my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g2shuck Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 correct I went out and looked and I just added to my stock wiring. If I remeber right if I unhook the stock wiring the car will not even start 2000 Toyota Camry With Sealed Off Trunk Sky High OFC Wiring DC Power 270 XP Alt AQ 2200 Sub Amp Two DC Level 4 m2 12s 80 Mil Murdetmat Gathering Parts For Wall Build.

There is or was a stock 4 gauge going straight from alt to the battery. Then from the battery it goes to the relays and starter. So im not sure why you thinks it;s necessary to keep the 4 gauge from alt to batt. I guess you could but if using 0 gauge no need for keeping the 4 on the alt. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gattiboy13 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 So at this point the wire is cut already...what can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 because some people remove the stock wire that goes from alt to fuse/relay box and do a straight run to the alt. you can replace the stock wire but its not needed and if you do you need to make sure all are done and you dont just delete on thinking its not needed.. im having issues with my truck because the person i sold it to removed the fuse/relay box and did a straight run to battery. it charges but the only thing giving power to my dash is a 8gauge wire that goes to the starter then to the ignition switch.. i need to fix that and its the reason you dont skip anything my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
