Stupid question of the month, year, decade?? (Battery replacement) (Page 1/1)
imacflier JUN 09, 08:31 PM
This is so embarrassing it is even hard to ask, but......

I replaced my battery. Having done this more than a time or two, I paid no attention to how it was wired.

When I (thought) I was done I discovered left over wires!

I have two relatively small gauge wires (about 18 gauge) connected to a single terminal.

One of the small wires was connected to a bolt on the strut tower. Since that would be ground, I assume that the terminal with the two wires must go to the negative post of the battery.....it is sized appropriately to fit the post.

Where does the other wire go? I can't be more than a foot away since that is how long the left over wire is.

A blushing TIA,

Larry

Every Fiero ever made is the same.

He's not going to find a battery junction block on an 84.
Ground location on head differs slightly between 4 and 6-cylinder engine.

Tony, I was being totally facetious! Of course there are differences!
