Big 3 questions
I've had some power issues (stock 17 yellow series) including the dome light flicker and the original clear-bottom battery died. (Fixed under warranty.)
So I'm going to hit the Big 3. Let me start with the plan.
-4ga no CB from Alt power direct to Batt+(Probably piggy back on 140A fuse already on block.)
-0ga from Batt Neg to R strut tower (stock ground.)
-0ga from Eng to frame (using stock locations on both sides of engine.)
Questions:
1) Stock routing for the Alt:Bat+ cable looks like it runs through the fuse box. I've checked the schematics and I don't see any relays or anything between Alt and Batt+. Does anyone know of any issues with running straight to Batt+?
2) Is there any reason to add a fuse or breaker on the power wire if I'm not relocating?
3) Is there any known problem with running different gauges? I figure that having heavy duty grounds will prevent any future loss of ground issues, and a 4ga wire on top of what's already installed for power supply seems more than sufficient.
Real time, I'm probably making a call on this tomorrow so I hope anyone who notices gives me a heads up before I f*** myself up. TM
