Stop in for a cup of coffee
Since this came up in another thread.
If any of you are curious as to why some of us dislike the 'MAD bypass', this is the technical picture of why.
It puts all of the current for running the car, the lights, heater fan, and everything but battery recharging through a 16 gage fusible link.
On a cold, rainy, night that's something like 25 - 35 amps continuously through a 16 gage wire. :eek:
At least with Chrysler's routing, that wire was only under high load when the battery had to take over.
