'88 electrical question
I just picked up an '88 BII XLT to replace my old '88 that turned to rust and quit running. When I picked it up, the old battery in it was totally dead. Started it with a jump box. Got it home and threw in a new battery. Everything seemed fine. Yesterday, I disconnected the battery to mount my plow. While putting the battery back in, I got a big spark when hooking up the battery cables. This is without any plow wiring hooked up. I grabbed my meter and quickly found only 3 ohms resitance between ground and the yellow fusible link on the solenoid. What circuits does this wire feed? What should the resistance between it and ground be with the key off? I'm going to start pulling fuses to continue troubleshooting, but it would save me lots of time if someone knows the answer. Thanks!

You can find wiring diagrams online at autozone.com in their repair guides:
AutoZone.com | Vehicle Selection - Year
Just select your vehicle, go into the repair guide under the chassis electrical section and go to the wiring diagrams section and go from there.
I believe the yellow fusible link is the main one that feeds all the accessories and the ignition switch, etc. - not sure if it is also from the output of your alternator or not. Hope this helps somewhat.
