Alt power wire
Alt power wire
Hello everyone ...
My battery n brake lights can on when driving, after doing some research on EvoM it was determine that my alt was the problem. I raised the car disconnect the power and remove the other wires that attach with a clip. Looks like the power wire snapped off n broke. I wanted to know how hard is it to replace the harness and how far back does it go?

Luke...
Can you post a pic? If you're replacing a wire, it could be as simple as pulling the sheathing back, and heatshrink splicing.
2 schools of thought here.
1. Solder it. Great connection, but prone to vibration damage.
2. Heat shrink crimp it. Ok connection, but less prone to long term vibration damage.

Oh it's THAT wire...
Huh. Well, it can definitely be repaired. If you can slide that black rubber cap back up the wire a bit, and pry the old ring (broken bit) off of there, figure out what size you need, and go get one of those heat shrinkable, weatherproof rings, and melt it right on. No need for solder, or splice and dice because it's the ring that snapped, not the wire.
If the wire looks charred, you may want to splice, but if it's just dirty... you can take some green scrubby pad to it to find out if it's damaged (arc'd) wiring, or if it's just dirt.
Bing boom done.
