Subject: AUX. BATTERY POST Sat Sep 20, 2014 12:46 pm
On my 96 RMW the aux. battery post has a red wire on it but it looks like someone cut it off and put a fused switch in line, This RED wire goes down inside the frame rails. as of now it has no fuse in it so its not getting any power. Every thing seems to work. What is this wire for and where does it go? What size amp fuse should I put in it or just put it back on the battery post?

It might have been there if someone had previously hooked up a sub woofer amout back, and that's how they ran power to it. Maybe.

It has a large cable that was hooked to the battery and runs under the back seat where the amp. was (holes in floor) this red wire looks like a factory install or its been there a long time, does the Automatic level control need power in back ?

I don't have level control to advise you on that. Sorry.

The ALC compressor is under the front bumper cover.
Does the car have a hitch? It may have been for trailer power. I did that with mine: 60amp circuit breaker at the AUX post, then #10 wire to the connector at the rear. Although, my red wire is not alone in the loom -- I also ran the trailer brake power wire back there with it.

Yes it has a trailer hitch so thats most likely it. its a 10gauge wire too. Thank You for your answers.
