I rewired the fused wire to the solenoid with regular 20 strands 16 ga wire to the two black and yellow wires. Now the big question. My fuel pumps will not start. This is the second alternator. The first I replaced and did not see the burnt fuse wire, the battery was not charging. Started fine and fuel pumps worked. So I took the alternator back to Oriellies and got a different one. When doing the second swap I decided to do Ohm testing on the harness and found the burnt wire. Everything is back together the way it came apart. I even swapped new fuel relay and eec relay. question is: what is that plastic gizzmo on the green wire?
Did I break something when I took it apart? What is the little 1/2 by 1 inch metal box next to solenoid - has black wire running to and from (2) 3/8 " studs. Looks like it may be a breaker of sorts. One time I had 000 ohms and now nothing.
