Gsmblue Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 Ah! I thought it was an output from the voltage regulator to the dash, but it is the other way around! Thanks Gary, as always invaluable help! I will grab a mega fuse later on today and hopefully I can get this all wired in :) Had to order the 175amp fuse holder online so I won't be finishing this until next week. I will update my project thread then and link it to here to make sure it all gets closed out, just in case someone searches for such a topic in the future :) Thanks for all the help as always!

Shiny spinny thing Well done! At first it looked like the red cable on the battery side of the starter solenoid just wrapped around on itself. But on closer examination I see that it goes to the fuse and there's a short positive cable to the battery. I'll bet that charges quite well with that heavy cabling.

I had to be creative with the wiring routing and fuse placement. Took her for a nice cruise this morning. No light dimming, no subwoofer wobble/farting. One step closer to summer readiness.
