Blowing Maxi Fuse immediately...?
I am totally green around the ears and strictly trying to wire my 74 Dart with the Painless harness manual and OEM wiring diagrams. I believe that I have done everything to the book. I am jumpy about posting stuff due to trying to not look like an idiot... but here goes. I have wired the entire engine and ignition system less the coolant temp connector, which I'm waiting on a L connector pigtail. The problem is that when I hook up my battery, it immediately blows the Maxi fuse between the starter and ignition relay... I also have my alternator hot wire that painless provides for alternators over 65 amps, connected to the other side of the Maxi fuse. I switched the hot wire from the placement in the photo on the alt. to the blue wire connection which I believe is the positive field side. Maybe I have my alt. wired backwards or maybe I'm totally turned around... Again I'm doing my best with no experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
