Okay, I think I've got a fundamental wiring issue mistake.
As soon as i connect the battery, *POP* my EFI relay and Alt 100amp fuse blow.
So, here's my battery connections
(+): Alt, Starter, Harness
(-): Block, Body
Here's a pic of the body ground connection:
There's 3 sets of wires meeting up:
-White/black from the fusebox
-Black (~10ga, 2 of them), also from the fuse box area
-2ga to the battery
Another area, underneath the dash... the previous owner, who knows wtf he was doing. Anyway, I found a fairly large (10-12ga) black/white wire (with some spliced ends.. wtf) out of the connector that looks like was keeping the two together. I figured I had just knocked it loose while working in the cabin.
Was I wrong to reconnect that wire?
The other possibility i'm considering is that maybe the (+) between the Alt and the battery has pretty thin insulation. With the amount of amps going from the battery to the alt, think it would be possible for it to "bleed" through a little? I'm going to double check the insulation to make sure there's no tears or cuts in it... but its routed right along the front top of the motor with the rest of the wireharness.
Annnddd... might a goof in the re-plugging of the body connectors near the ECU cause this level of short?
