It is not his starter or alternator if the current is going thru the 200amp fuse. That fuse feeds, essentially, everything in the car OTHER than:

Starter
Alternator
Brake Controller
Engine cooling fan

I chased a similar issue once - if you take the cover off the driver's side fuse box, then take the fuse carrier (the part that has all the fuses) out and look under it, at the back, you will see the B+ tie points. Remove the nut from the stud and start taking red wires off that stud until you find the one that has the current flowing in it - then you[ve got to find where THAT particular line goes.

The service manuals ALL have a wiring chapter, you can download the manuals from Crossfireforum.org in the tech section. The diagrams are incomplete, lack detail, and have some errors in them, but they are all we have - and are WAY better than plugging around in the dark.


A bad ground strap will cause:

SLow cranking (often)
Noise-static-odd noises in the AM/FM radio (often)
No start (sometimes)
Poor battery charging (rarely)
Alternator light comes on at times (rarely)
