Ignition Barrel Starter Wire

Recommended Posts

soundguy

Hopefully a quick Q - is there much current going through the starter wire off the ignition barrel at the time of start up/turning the key?

 

I'm wondering if a replacement section of wire should be re-replaced with heavier gauge...any thoughts?

A couple of amps at least. The part of the circuit in the engine bay tends to be a bigger problem, but replacing all the wiring couldn't hurt as it's 25+ years old at this point.

OK, thanks Ryan - think I'd better increase the gauge that I've recently replaced.
