Fuse install

[Xcheese1]

Went to replace the starter solenoid and found a rats nest for wiring. Ski doesn’t appear to have a fuse. Where do I install it? Replacement wiring options?

On one of your Pos battery cables here should be a fuse holder on the smaller power wire.

Someone may have removed it. I have some if you need.

So on the small red wire between battery side of solenoid and ground? Link to order?

Like this, it runs from the battery side on the solenoid to the harness on the top right of this pic. I replaced mine with a mini ATM fuse holder. They're more commonly available than glass fuses. You can buy one at autozone for about $6, or a 10 pack on Amazon for $10. Solder and heatshrink the wires with adhesive lined heatshrink and pack the fuse socket good with dielectric grease. I believe it takes a 10 amp fuse, but maybe 5 amp. It says somewhere in the manual.

While you're in there, I'd plug and unplug all the bullet connectors a few times to clean off the corrosion. Take some pliers and lightly squeeze the female side with it unplugged so it makes a solid connection. Reassemble with plenty of dielectric grease.
