I 'm in need of a little help with my big 3 up grade and my Alt upgrade too.

Do I eliminate the factory charge wire coming off the alt (4 guage) when I add the new 1/0 charge wire bet Alt to Batt ?

I replaced my 90 amp Alt with a 130 amp Alt, will I be blowing any of of my fusible links as a result of this upgrade ? if so which fusible link will be affected plz ? thanks. P.S. I have a 2005 Hyundai elantra.

hummm, no help ?

 

Does your current charge cable go straight from the alt to the batt? If so, yes you can eliminate it if you want to.

For the fusible links - have the accessories the links protect changed and suddenly draw more power? No, so there is no reason to change them.

 

I tried following the factory charge wire from the alt, im not sure but it looks like it's connected to one side of a 120 amp fuse,the other side of this fuse goes via 4ga cable to pos + batt terminal. If I eliminate this factory cable,where does the power come from to power up all the other accessories in the fuse box in the eng bay ?

 

Doesn't it make sense then that you would follow the same cable routing with your new cable?

 

yes it would,but I replaced my stock 90amp alt with a 130amp alt and i'm concerned about blowing the factory 120amp fuse in the fuse box in the eng bay,i also have the new 1/0 charge wire (alt-batt ) fused 12" from the batt with a 130 amp ANL fuse. thanks.
