Ground wire to Fusible link snapped

Got it thanks. It sure beats unbolting the neg wire.

 

The wiring diagram shows where it connects, and shows it is the remote voltage sense lead for the DC/DC converter at the front of the car. Using a separate wire allows the converter to regulate to a specific voltage right at the battery, and not be thrown off by voltage drop in the main (heavier) wire when current is flowing through it. Gen 1 and Gen 2 have it.

Moving to Gen 3, funny factoid. There isn't a remote sense wire run all the way back to the battery any more. The DC/DC converter still has a separate V sense terminal in Gen 3, but it just plugs into the engine room junction block about six inches away, somewhat defeating the purpose. They must have decided it wasn't as important as they had first thought. At the same time, Gen 3 adds a temperature sensor above the aux battery. Gen 1 didn't have that (don't know about Gen 2 and I've used up my techinfo days until I re-up....). Maybe that turned out to be a better way to control charging.

Oops your right Chapman good one. I thought it jumped over to the battery control power supply.
I see it goes exactly where you say thank you.

 

This is super helpful! However, I'm having a pretty hard time removing the crimp our of the plastic harness clip. Can't find a video for that specific thing. Do you happen to know which video it was? It seems to be bound in the plastic from both ends or something...

 

Got it out of the plastic housing, now having a heck of a time opening up the end to remove the busted piece of wire so I can slide the wire in from the harness to crimp. Anyone have any helpful suggestions?

 

Finally got it uncrimped and was able to strip the remaining wire enough to fit back in and crimped it tight. Connector back together, problem solved, red triangle/ABS lights off!
