on video Hotrod | Race car | Drift car Wiring for Beginners.

 In this video, I show the basics of wiring for a hotrod, drift car, ratty muscle car or race car. I include how I wired a GM 3-wire 10si / 12si Alternator, along with a 12v automotive fuse box and a starter circuit. I used 200A Cole Hersee Relays power the fuse box and the starter. I discuss the differences between a continuous use vs non-continuous use solenoids, and the importance of using diodes.

What is the purpose of a solenoid?

02:08 Overview of the fuse box I use in the video

03:08 How to wire a Cole Hersee 24213 solenoid

04:12 How to wire the universal ignition switch to the solenoid

06:03 How to wire a battery shut off / disconnect switch to a solenoid

07:29 How to wire a GM 3 wire alternator

10:06 What is a diode and how does it work?

11:58 What happens if I don't use a diode on my alternator?

13:21 Why does a solenoid needs to have a diode across the terminals?

13:57 How to wire an automotive starter

15:21 How to wire a neutral safety switch or clutch switch in a starter circuit

16:39 How to wire a separate starter solenoid to a starter

18:53 How to fix a starter that sticks out too long

20:00 The importance of fuses and where I would put them
