  1. Sorry been busy and haven't had much time to get on here lately. But I had to borrow a lot of equipment to make these, so not sure if I'd be able to make a few more.. I apologies. But I could talk to the shop and see if they'll partner up and make a bunch for you guys.. that way you guys could add and make them how you want them... I'm pretty sure they'll be a cheaper alternative as well.. ill try and get a hold of them this week and get back to you

  2. Yup, that's what I'm talking about... bottom left of the picture... he cut that off and put an inline fuse with 14 gauge wire and an eye loop that attaches to the positive terminal. Hopefully my alternator will come in tomorrow so can put it in and try to figure this out... still thinking there's something grounding out or some kind of wire problem... headlights shouldn't blow a 30 fuse... hopefully not to complicated..

  4. This "connector" you speak of, are you talking about the battery-to-distribution box wire? That's the only thing I can think of that fits that description, but I'm not looking at my path so I could be wrong.

     

    Whatever it is, why did you have to change this component and add a fuse? Is there some mod I am not aware of? :unsure:

    the plastic clip on the back of the alternator, i got it but it was covered in mud... :whistle:

    and i had took it in to get terminals put on... i didnt have a crimpper and it was only 20 bucks, mine were falling off, so i said why not... but the dumb a@$ decided to cut off the ends of the two wires that come from the fuse box by the battery and twist them together and put an inline fuse from them to an eye loop on the terminal... i dont know what to call it... but its where the two wires frome the fuse box connect into a red little square that attaches to posotive terminal.

  5. The first time i tested it, it was at 12.48 running, turnned my lights on and it died and blew the inline 10 fuse. i changed the fuse to a 30 and it seamed to work, and battery was at 14.18v running. is there a better way to set that up? i dont really like that in line fuse set up... and could my alternator still be bad?

     

    and no i dont have to jump start.

  6. ok, i just replaced both terminals and cleaned off any corrosion. still happening... if i turn on my lights she dies... alternator? also i had to change the connector for the fuse box right next to the battery with an eye loop and in in line fuse wire... is there any other way to make it more stable? :crossedwires:

  7. hey everyone, i have a 96 XE and its been doing some strange stuff... first off my passanger side headlight went out, didnt think anything of it just changed it, along with my driver side one. now the driver side new one went out and when my low beams are on my high beam indicator lights up.. Also i went to start it one night and it fell flat on its face "click" then i turend it off and tried again it fired right up. And tonight i hit a bump that moved my foot off the clutch and killed it went to start it and nothing.. turned if off tried again nothing. opened my door and my gauges and everything came back on so i tried again.. nothing, then i opened and slammed the door and tried, she fired right up....

     

    I thought it might be a ground or somthing shorting out... but im not sure. so if anyone has any ideas it'd be great
