Wasn't sure where to put this topic but anyway. The previous owner of my Celica completed a 3sgte engine swap. I noticed yesterday that their is a ground going from the alternator to the car. There is also a ground going from the battery to the car. My question is, does the ground going to from alternator to the car have any significance?
Here is a picture of how the ground is going from the alternator to the car.  P.S And oh, I accidentally knocked out my fuse that is for my radio/lighter.. If I can't find it is there any place that sells those, or would I have to get one from someone on here?

Dude - take it from me [Read my build thread if you want to see] - leave that cable where it's at. You will have all kinds of stupid stuff happening if you loose that one. I must have forgot it when I did my rebuild this year and man it was a PITA to track down. Wanna see what it does? Start the car, leave it running and turn on and off the lights a few times - you should get little to no variation in the idle speed. Now with the motor running pull that cable off the chassis side and watch your engine sputter and/or die outright [Yes I know this is not the primary function of the cable but it does illustrate the point rather nicely]. All that being said you can do some things to tuck it a little nicer - just be careful to keep it away from the belts ;) LOL - Read page two - LOL http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...57042&st=20 This post has been edited by DEATH: Oct 20, 2008 - 4:57 PM --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
