Electrical help???
Ok this car has plagued me since i bought it in 08, Some of the guages work some dont, this car has been a haus paid 800 for it and drove it 35k before the trani gave out, it set up in 100+ weather in texas for the entire spring and summer Just got her up and going. Anyway keeps blowing the fuse for the Turn Signals, Ive often wondered about the wires that go to the battery, seems like alot also, I had to put in a toggle switch and push button because of the starting issue its had Im sure its a relay but im also on a real tight budget, scrap wire and testing is no problem but I need to figure out whats what at the battery and does the hot wire at the alternator, is it suppost to go directly to the battery? any help would be cool

Here’s the alt hookup:
The heavier red wire goes to the positive stud, and should have power at all times.
The thinner red wire goes to terminal S (the sensing circuit) and should have power at all times.
The brown wire goes to terminal F (the turn-on input) and should have power when the key is in the RUN position.

Unplug the turn signal flasher.
After removing the flasher if the TURN-B/U fuse still blows, check the backup lamps route.
However if after removing the flasher the TURN-B/U fuse does not blow, your problem is not in the backup lamps route.
Therefore if removing the turn signal flasher stops the TURN-B/U fuse from blowing, turn the key to OFF, install a good TURN-B/U fuse, unplug the longer of the two flattish connectors located on the right side of the steering column.
Now, if the TURN-B/U fuse no longer blows your problem is in the steering column.
