XJ alternator lead question
I'm upgrading all the battery cables on my '99 XJ and was wondering where
the main lead off the alternator goes. I really don't want to tear apart the harness if I don't have to. |
Re: XJ alternator lead question
It hooks up to the smaller red wire off the battery at the power
distribution box. Just a heads up. You cannot just 'change' that wire. It has a fuse link crimped onto the end by the distribution box that is the only overload protection the alternator has. Removing this can/will cause fires if something messes up later. The fuse link is about 8" long with a loop end on the bolt the battery cable hooks onto and a large rubber tube shaped crimp connector on the alternator side of the link.

Re: XJ alternator lead question
Do you know what the value is of that fusable link?
