Ok, I'll take your advice and cut those fuse links out - I have one set of them (3 fuse links that go to a medium size red wire) and only this set. Your 35 amp wire and 40 amp fuse replaces all three wires or do you have three sets? I already did cut them off once (and was going to bin them and just put a connector on the red wire), but after reading your post, I reconnected it - after testing out ok, for safety.

Would it really hurt if I did just put a connnector on the red wire? (it's the one that gets connected to the battery side of the of the engine bay fuse box) I believe you call it the busbar side (basically the side that the wires wind up connected to the metal sheet on the side of the box).

Remembering that I have a master FIA kill switch in the line anyway that has a ground resistor on it to abosorb some of the power after switch off.

????? If there where other fuse links in the orginal wiring layout, I don't have them now anyway, so somebody must have thought they were a bad design before me.

I just want the damn thing back to how it was two weeks ago - 13.7 or so volts!

Thanks again from a non-electrical golf pro/ rally fan!
