Wiring (Charging System)
I'm collecting wiring supplies and getting ready to rewire my entire car. I'm using an AAW Power Plus 20 kit. Kit is pretty complete other than ground wire.
I'm working with Affordable Fuel Injection to have another vendor to supply engine wiring harnesses and the plan is to use HP Tuners.
Anyway I'd like to place the battery in the trunk and been reading a lot about this. I've found this diagram below and I like some the features about it.
1. I'm planning to use a Ford solenoid instead of the 14ga Fusable Link. I want to mount the battery in the trunk and have the solenoid mounted to the battery box. Then run a 1ga to the front.
2. I know Alternator light on the diagram won't be used. However the 2006 6.1L alternator has a pair of wires coming from it. Where do these wires go? I'm going to guess here and assume they go back to the engine wiring harness for the PCM to control the voltage.
3. The "Ground to doghouse" off the battery will be a ground wire running to the front of the car grounded to the unibody. I'll tie all the grounds from the car into this.
Does anyone see an issues with the diagram? Anyone have suggestions? My plan is to order everything needed by the end of the week. I want to try and get the car wired before the new year.
Thank you,
Riddler
