Cable wiring alternator battery

Post by WhiteFinish »

I have moved my battery to the trunck of my car.
But now I'm doubting if I did it right.

There is just a couple running from the alternator to my starter, and from the starter to my battery in the trunck.

The way i was thinking it should run.
Alternator --> Fusebox (don't know where)
Fusebox --> starter
Starter --> Battery

Could somebody help me out?
Just another Mx3 freak :)

All I did was flatten the existing positive terminal connector and bolt it to the 4Gauge cable that i ran into the trunk. then I just bolted the new negative cable to the trunk floor and taped off the old negative lead in the engine compartment and left it there.
