CheezyMane13 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Why do people put a fuse on the 0 gauge between the alt and battery? Should I do it? What does it do?

BulletInjection Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 There is a wire and fuse guide on here if you search. It may even be pinned under the electrical section.
