Did you guys fuse your alt?


Recommended Posts

no fuses from the alt to the battery, but everything else is fused off of the battery(s)

thats how mine is too.

If you look in your stock wiring, there is a stock fuse from Alternator to battery, it very much so is ther for a reason!! If the internal(for those who have one) regulator goes, your stock wiring will get ruined, I have done this mistake and if I was on my other pc, I would post a pic or two of the consequences! I have a 250amp fuse on mine, and 300amp on my lines going to the rear battery. But for those who choose not to run a fuse, I think luck is on your side as I know I will never chance it again!! $50 could have saved me Tons of labour, and $150 of mechanics time..

if you're looking for all the juices from the battery to the amps, dont fuse. i dont compete, so i fused from my battery to the amps. i didnt fuse from alternator to battery. make sure it's a tight connection and do it right. dont go cheap on terminals either.
