[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 205879, member: 4617"] Will be doing a small mod the dash to install a voltmeter. Found a thread on GWDocs regarding this. I have also read that the alternator on the 1500 is a weak point, so as part of my maintenance deliberations before I bought the 1500 was to acquire a HO alt for the 1500, and I have it on the shelf for install - need to get new alt dampers. I have also perused the wiring diagrams and the wiring as installed is not the same as the wiring schematics. The alt connection is to the battery positive terminal, whereas the alt connection in the schematics is to the starter solenoid with a wire to the battery. I also noted that the wiring schematic for the 1500 charging system is similar to what I installed on my 1200 with the alt conversion in that: 1. There is a 30 amp fuse on the ignition wire. 2. There is a 30 amp fuse on the starer solenoid that protects the battery from a high voltage spike from the alternator. 3. There is a 30 amp fuse on the circuit to the CFI system. 4. The additional accessory fuse block is protected through the relay that is rated at 30/40 amp. All other circuits on the 1200 are fused as required. Have been looking for an an additional fuse block for the 1500. Found this one on eBay: [url=https://www.ebay.ca/itm/5-Road-For-The-Nacelle-Insurance-Car-ATV-Fuse-Box-6-Relay-Relay-Socket-Holder/302845218926?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20180124145912%26meid%3D54cacb94ee794fbcbcb83837da16284e%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D332014310127%26itm%3D302845218926&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851]https://www.ebay.ca/itm/5-Road-For-The- ... 0005.m1851[/url] Cheers [/QUOTE]
