Alternator mod mess(inherited problems...)

[chrish8r]

So the SVX is down again thanks the previous owners interpretable alternator mod. Ive searched both forums and have not seen another setup that remotely resembles this one. The main problem seems to come from the distribution block that takes the big(4 gauge?) wire from the alternator and splits it into two 14-10 gauge wires. One of the wires goes into the loom that comes from the fender by the battery. The other one disappears into the bottom of the fuse box. The distribution block seems to be getting very hot and causing the plastic housing to melt. If I cant figure it out with your help, what do you think it would cost to get this redone the right way? Thank you

More wires coming from the alternator than seem necessary.


Distribution block where the 4 gauge goes in an the two 14-10 gauge wires come out.


None of the wires from the alternator go to the battery terminals like the other mods I have seen.
