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.
