one of meades videos got me thinking


Recommended Posts

Thats pretty ballzy of him especially if he has metal mounts supporting the wiring under the vehicle like on his honda. I don't see a point fusing if its attached to the buss bar all the way in the back. Personally I wouldn't know how to organize all my wires to add fuses. That and figuring out how to run so many wires along the frame rail. Does anyone run multiple alternators to an up front battery and fuse off that to the back battery bank?

he probably has the runs from the alt to the back and only fuses at the rear if i recal right he has fuses from those runs. if they are not connected to a battery in the fron they only need to be fused on one end.

I'd still say they should be fuse at both ends because you want the fuse to be as close as possible to the potential issue so if there is a problem in the front and it's not fused you're gonna have a bad day.

I fuse any positive wire I could care less if it's a foot long it's getting fused.

Also alts can go nuts and having them fused can possibly prevent it from frying your stuff if it does.

if the alternator is connected to one side and the battery is connected to another you only need one fuse. fuses are protecting the wire from melting and shorting from a constant power source. when you turn car off, the alt is porducing nothing. the battery is what holds the power, thus you are wasting money and addind resistance/increased chance of problems/poor connection, by fusing your alt. there is no need.
