Dash Power Feed Confusion
@Holden Customs
Exact model and year will be important, especially for this. A) it's not an option we see alot. (B) There are several variations on how this was done.
You gave us another clue when you wrote that the black wires are spliced together and connect to the ammeter's other post.
This what we are seeing so far.
The larger gage red insulated wire may have a fusible link at the battery positive or the starter relay terminal.
As 67Dart273 explained, the heavy black wires are also 'hot'.
The white 'bullet' connectors at the end of each clearly mate with the heavy brown wires.
I'm willing to bet that one of those brown wires connects the alternator output;
And the other heavy brown wire connects to the 16 gage blue fusible link which in turn leads to the standard main splice.
It sure looks like that's a possibility!
