Moley Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 I have a genesis coupe and am doing the big 3. I have the 2 negative wires done ( battery to chassis/engine block to chassis ) done but I was wondering about the wire from battery + to alternator. The stock wire goes from the alternator into some black box and then to the battery. What is this black box? and When I hook up the big 0 g wire can I just simply run it from the alternator directly to the battery. Will this mess with sensors or regulators or anything? thanks. Quote

Moley Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Posted September 24, 2010 man wish i could tell you but i have no idea. maybe do some research on the internet or something I am not sure but on other vehicles does the stock wire go directly from the alternator to battery + ? Quote
deeje Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 Is it a fuse block? And on some vehicles it goes directly to battery but genetaly they go to a fuse block somewhere first.

CrossfireExpedition Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 More than likely its a "Fusible Link". My Expediton has similar, Im leaving that wire in and just adding 0ga with a fuse on it. The power will take the path of least resistance.

baaudio Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 My explorer had something like that. I replaced all factory wires with 4 gauge so I went alt to black box then to batt. Then I ran my 1/0 straight from the alt to the battery with a fuse near the batt Quote Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k
Ao1FTW Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 Mine goes to something else on my car too before it hits the batt. I just added a run of 0g and a fuse and shes good to go! Quote 2012 Civic Si Coupe - Nada lol Youtube
Hotdog Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 Mine is like that too... Just run 1/0 from Alternator to Battery with a inline fuse and you will be good.

Moley Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Posted September 24, 2010 Cool......I will just leave the stock wire and add a 1/0 directly from alt to battery. Hopefully it will be fine. I have another question. Where is the voltage regulator. Is it part of the alternator? Quote
