hi guys ive searched endlessly and cant seem to really get a straight answer...so let me make this as easy as possible so maybe i can get a straight answer..
i own a 1983 mustang and recently put my battery in the trunk with a on/off switch. now i was told i need to solder a 2 gauge wire from "the mystery wire" on the alternator back to the switch....well...im trying to figure out what wire i have to cut and solder that goes back to the switch...
now i bought the car from a friend and it had been sitting in peices for 4 years...he told me he had upgraded the alternator to a slightly bigger one then the 83 came with..i believe its off a 89...but im not sure....the alternator has 2 plugs that plug into it.... one plug has a white wire with black stripe, a yellow wire with white stripe, and a green wire with red stripe... the other plug has a white wire with yellow stripe and 2 black wires with orange stripes...
my question to u is what wire do i cut and then solder to a thicker gauge wire to send back to my battery switch? im pretty mechanically savvy...i was just trying to make this as easy for everyone and me also...ill include a pic of what i am trying to say....
thank you guys...not looking for smarty pant remarks...just looking for some honest guidance!!!! thank you!!!!!
