Battery Cable Routing

[Warpath]

Hello All,

Can anybody help me on where to route the battery cables. When i bought the shell (my car) they were already removed. I tried using the TEWD but had a hard time reading this diagram: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=023 If any one has pic's or can tell me i would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,
Jim

Are all cables removed?

The grounds go to the fender and the block (behind the A/C compressor under the intake manifold.

The positive cables should hook to the fusebox.

BTW: I've found the EPC easier to follow for parts breakdowns. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291410/catalog.aspx?F=8202&P=1

Not trying to be difficult or ask stupid questions I just want
To make sure I'm doing it right & there's no other place. Some of the
cars that worked on in the past the cables went to a starting solenoid
And such. Plus I'm old and having a hard time following the routing diagrams
LOL. I know too that your not giving me a hard time & I appreciate mkiii222
Info very much.

sorry if i came out harsh but the wiring is pretty straight forward and you should have no problem with it.
just make sure you dont mix up the positive and negative... ive done that before with a new set of wires from toyota

I did forget about this one.

So:
2 Negative, One to the fender next to the battery, one to the block behind the a/c compressor
2 Positive, One to the fuse box, one to the starter

That's all that goes to the battery unless you have an aftermarket audio system or have wired up your own relays for something else.

Battery: Use at least 4 gauge wire and put it in a sealed/vented enclosure.

Fusebox: Just leave all wiring routed the same. Use the same gauge wire and totally replace the wire if you have to extend anything, don't leave splices mid-wire as they'll just be weak points later.
