Alternator to battery bad wire

**javyflores** · 04-05-2013

Hi everybody, My first Thread in this forum
I found there is no continuity between alternator and battery. Suspect of having a bad wire since I place a temporary wire directly from alternator to battery and everything works fine. I do not know where the cable route is, may be a fuse in between or something else. Looking for the schematic to verify wires and fuses. Thanks

wire goes from the alt to the start has a inline fuse by starter i would just run a new wire to the fuse box to the alt and call it a day

Thanks a million, I will check for the fuse, if so difficult to find it, I will replace the wire as your suggestion.
Best Regards

As mentioned, you can run a new wire. I'm not so sure on that fuse though. The wire to the alt is routed in the harness from the top of the radiator onto the engine, the battery cable is routed from the battery down to the subframe and over to the starter.
