So I am almost done with my 95 V6 Magnum overhaul and I am installing the last parts. It has been a while and now I completely forgot where these two ground cables went. My best guess is that they are from the alternator, but not sure where they should go. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help!
Thanks. I already got the ones that go on the back of the alternator. I'm only missing those two. One could go under the ac mount bolt as you say, and the other?
That one with the arrow that comes out of the black box on the back of the Alt goes back into that bundle where the other ground comes out and attaches to the back of the Alt on mine.
Otherwise IDK where they might go. Ground is ground but you might try looking at where they start and try to figure it out by how they are bent from being in place.
On my truck 93 v8, the large one coming out of the alternator connector goes to the front of the engine on the right side connected to the heater hose adapter tube mount. The smaller one I believe I have it coming out of the rear side of the wiring loom and connects to the back of the motor (along with another ground cable from the motor to the firewall).
Anyways, they both are grounds that bolt up to the motor.
So based on how the cables are bent from being in place as onemore94dak specified, I decided to place both ground cables to the alternator/generator support bracket. That looks like the only possible place they could go. Do you guys think it could be a problem installing them together? I want to avoid any bad circuits.
alternator/generator support bracket connects to the intake manifold
That looks like the spot for at least one of them. Keep an eye out for similar trucks and ask if the will let you look.
You could always ask a dealer mechanic for some advice.
