Subaru Scott Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Sure, if you want to burn your car up. Now, you are back feeding a circuit with a known high resistance, with an unfused wire. Perfect recipe for disaster. That’s what the fusible links are for, and you need to replace them with real ones, not homemade. If the fault is at the alternator junction, you are going to burn that up as well goofing around. Find the problem!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdweninger Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 it may help to unhook the + battery, then check resistance in the wires (ohms) .... rather than looking for voltage drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wd93loyale Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 The new wire goes in after the links, just got back from a 45 min ride no issues no burning smells. I just wont turn the ac on again lol, hopefully she last a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wd93loyale Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 What is the best way to do it? Replace that whole harness, or just that one white wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 If I am following everything, it sounds like that running a wire fromthe output side of the fusible link for the white wire to the junctionnear the fuse box makes it run? As long as you are NOT bypassing the fusible link, you should be ok. I would rather find the bad connection or break. If it were at the branch for the alternator, you may one day burn out the alternator [or maybe just run the battery dead] if the rest of the connection fails.. Replacing the whole harness is a big project, and you have to find one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bennie It’s a ‘93 and she’s running real nice, ran a new wire from the link to the fuse box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Good good. I meant '82 as in EA82, I didn't think about the confusion this could cause. Glad it's sorted for you! Cheers Bennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
