Subject:Large Wire from Battery to Starter
From:Jay L Snyder
Date:Wed, 5 Apr 2000 12:31:36 -0400

Does the large wire that runs from the battery to the starter have a fusible
link built into it, or is it just large gauge copper wire?  I am thinking about
moving my primary battery under the rear seat for several reasons--closer to the
starter, easier access for jumping to other vehicles, unlimited room for larger
capacity battery...  I don't want to cut up the original wiring if at all
possible.  I would like to run a new wire to the starter from the rear seat and
use the old wire to feed the original harness to the front.  I may eventually
use the stock battery location for an auxillary battery.   Is there a fusible
link in this stock wire?
