How does the rest of our trucks/burbs get power from the battery? When there are only 2 wires coming off the positive post on the battery and 2/3 coming off the negative post to grounds. I have a 1 wire alternator so that accounts for one of the two and the other is going straight down to the starter solenoid. As far as I can recall the starter only had 2 wires on it, power from battery and signal(ignition switch) wire. I could only find information about a Battery Junction Box, but I figured that was just the fuse box under the dash. I have a box on my firewall that my trailer brakes is connected to along with a few other wires. Is that the junction box they speak of? I assume it is a constant 12v source though.
I only ask is because of my ECM delete and no need for all those wires anymore. I clipped a majority of them minus 4 wires. Red wire that has a fuse near the end of it, Pink wire that went to the coil and is my source for the HEI power, alternator wires which I do not need anymore with a 1 wire alternator now, and I believe it is a purple wire that goes to the starter.
What am I missing?
