Lazy alternator 1990 dodge b350
I have a 1990 dodge class b islander rv. I have rewired it myself to include far heavier wiring than was originally installed. It is basically #2awg wire direct bolted to alternator pos stud, then ...

Excellent, OK. Yes I have very competent wiring skills, I just didn't want to spend a lot of time. So, for our dodge B250/350 series vans... I will have to find an ignition wire to quick splice into. I suppose it has to handle full field current or 8 amps or so?
My van has some ignition wire quick spliced already for the isolator solenoid. The OEM source wire spliced into to control the solenoid seems to be maybe 14 guage of an unknown circuit. As far as I know the solenoid draws 1 amp or so to hold the contacts closed. Now it would need to supply another 8 amps? hmm wouldn't want that fuse to burn out on the road
Perhaps I will have to find a wiring diagram to see which ignition wire coming out of the firewall can afford another 8 amps? or I could rig up a relay I suppose an run new power for it. hmm plus I think it would have to be a wire that is still live when cranking.
Since we have the same vans, which ignition switched wire did you find that had some available capacity?
