Maineah Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Fused ground wire? If it's a #8 wire it goes to the converter/charger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphinguy Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Fused ground wire? If it's a #8 wire it goes to the converter/charger. the ground wire has been bolted to the frame and was working fine. the black wire goes all the way to the rear wheel then into the house but i cant find it to continue tracing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Have a look at your fuse panel at the converter and see if there isn't a large black wire attached to a large lug. If so that is your main feed wire to the converter from the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
