Doing big 3 upgrade and want to know where this wire is. I can only find the little wire going from the back of the engine to the starter.
Also what do I do with the battery cable when doing this because what I did for the alternator was just route 4 gauge on top of the current wire and I THINK that cable IS 4gauge.

Can't understand the purpose of entering the year in control panel if it doesn't show here...
it's a 95.

You need a very good understanding of the starting/charging cell in the FSM and make a plan. Everything you should need to know is there and in a C4 there's changes that need to be considered in the entire electrical. Your '95 has multiple under-hood fuse blocks and the starting/charging cell will refer you to the grounding information that you need to concern yourself with.

A "cut dried" there isn't I don't believe and some interpret the "BIG 3" differently.

If you have the FSM and a good mind you should be able to sort it and accomplish your "interpretation" as you wish.

It's all there.

what about it? i posted this because pictures are the best. all it's showing is it goes from the left side of the car to the bellhousing and that ground is shared with the wiper motor.
