I'll try and be as specific as possible.
I used 16' of 2 guage wire to relocate the battery to the trunk. The cable is brand new, and is not pinched or cut into anywhere. The battery is in a battery box in the trunk, the terminals are securely tightened to both battery posts, and I grounded it to a screw I found under the carpet in the trunk on the passenger side.
Up front, the Mustangs have 2 different wires going into the battery terminal: one that goes into the main fuse/relay box under the hood, and the other goes to the alternator. I used a bolt & nut and ran it through both if the open ends of these wires, and tightened it well and taped it up with electrical tape to prevent moisture from getting in there. Basically, it is a bolt going through 3 of these to make the contact:
Of course, they aren't cheap-o ones like this. I used the factory harness and one heavy duty copper one at the end of the 2 gauge wire, and put 1 bolt through all 3.
The issue I have, is that something seems to randomly interrupt the flow of current to my car. The electricity will completely cut off for a split second, and come right back. My radio will go to AM, the time will go to 12:00, and then it goes back to normal.
It does not happen when I hit a bump, or turn hard, or anything like that. I have noticed, that it happens when it is raining.
Any ideas?
