Brew Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I found this mess changing out my battery…. So what is supposed to be wired here? (White circle 2nd pic)I have a black wire & red wire on it. The black wire goes to positive post on battery. The red comes from wire bundle that comes out from in front of radiator. (White lines 1st pic) I am thinking the post is a ground that is wired wrong.

1970mcss Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 The red wire runs from the horn relay and the black is the fusible link from the battery cable. I included the wiring diagram from the electrical forum Good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has run fine for 6 yrs with a heavy gauge wire running from that post to positive batt terminal . What & where is the fuseable link?

1970mcss Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 The fusible link comes with the cable. I'm not sure what gauge the link is. Maybe someone knows, I will see if I can figure out what gauge it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1970mcss Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 You should be able to stop at an auto parts store. I think you can buy it by the foot. 14 Gauge Fusible Link Wire Carded 85623: Advance Auto Parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Ok, I got 12 gauge fuselink wire from auto parts store. This wire can self destruct. IT IS THE FUSE, so to speak. this was unclear to me so I post that for anyone else seeking the information in the future. i cut a piece about 9 inches long & crimped connectors onto both ends. One brass for the battery side and one standard for the threaded stud that is on core behind headlight. I have started it several times, with lights on and without lights on. Drove it 40 miles or so and it works without any issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
