  • *PARTS LIST IN DESCRIPTION BELOW*
    In this video, I show the basics of wiring for a hotrod, drift car, ratty muscle car or race car. I include how I wired a GM 3-wire 10si / 12si Alternator, along with a 12v automotive fuse box and a starter circuit. I used 200A Cole Hersee Relays power the fuse box and the starter. I discuss the differences between a continuous use vs non-continuous use solenoids, and the importance of using diodes. In general, this video covers car wiring, race car wiring, alternator wiring, automotive wiring, how to wire a car, car wiring basics, wiring a car, fuse box wiring, hotrod wiring, and ratty muscle car wiring.

    Actually, the diode is there to protect all other electronic components of your car from that huge voltage spike that happens when the magnetic field collapses. The coil inside that solenoid is very sturdy and doesn't really care about voltage spikes of any kind.

    Very very good! I just built an engine run test stand. Like an actual car the test/run stand is wired almost exactly the same way. I ran into a few bumps along the way, but it works well except for the alternator wiring. I screwed up somewhere, this video will help me rethink that. I got some good ideas about solenoids, diode use, and parts that will clean up my build dramatically. Oh yes this will work out fine, back to work for me.

    This whole series is like gold to those of us who probably have no business messing around with automotive wiring. I recently stepped off into the deep end of the pool and bought a 1929 Mercedes Benz kit car used. Mechanically, it seems to be okay, but if I put a mental image of several 10 gauge wires simple stripped, twisted together and taped over with that cheap tape, then multiply that disaster waiting to happen by way too many, and you get an idea of what I'm dealing with. I've found about half of my problems went away as I re=connected the bad connections, and the other half are rapidly going away as I watch your vids and put them to work!. I have one suggestion: My workspace for this car is off to the side of my house, far from my computer. My eyes have a hard time making out fine detail on my cell phone. I've tried drawing my own schematics as you explain them, but they look like chicken scratching even to me! A wiring diagram from He-who-knows-how-it-works wold be a very welcome addition for many of us I'm sure, and if not then I'd appreciate it enough for all of them! Many thanks for all this information, I'll send you a picture when I've got ALL the lights lit up. Won't be long now!

    Someone who has actually used the PROPER method of installing a KILL switch !
    It’s the same method I have always used to cut off EVERYTHING that could possibly continue to run a vehicle even AFTER a crash . I’ve seen shorts physically START a fuel pump or starter engage after a crash . Alternators continue running, power flows . It happens .
    I love your videos .
    Glad to see what seems to be younger generations commenting on your videos that they are following and hopefully using the proper methods themselves .
    PS. I have always added a ground to my alternator , even single wire alternators , to help cut out frequencies that cause issues with stereo systems and fuel injection ecm issues .

    Excellent video! A few comments to fill in a bit more. Fuses are generally sized to the wire rather than the load. The wire is presumably sized to the load but the point is fuses don't protect devices they keep the wire from burning up. Older vehicles have a fusible link or a thin piece of wire in-line that will burn up and the thin wire might not be easy to spot. Typically it is one gauge smaller and a few inches long. Obviously starters without a solenoid on them will not spin down faster without a diode since they use centrifugal force.

    Yeah I should include a few key pieces of info with my question. The battery location is 9n the passenger side of the trunk with the components located on battery box in the space next to right rear tire. It goes battery, mega fuse, continuous duty solonoid, and finally starter solenoid thru the frame to starter on the same side.

    • @WiringRescue
      @WiringRescue  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha! In that case - definitely have a big fuse right next to your battery between the continuous duty solenoid and the positive battery terminal. The amperage rating will depend on the total amperage draw of all of your components. I would also recommend a fuse on both ends of your alternator power wire. Since electricity flows both ways in that specific circuit, it’s nice to have it protected at both ends!
