Default tired searching. Battery relocation help..

Hey im looking to do a battery relocation to the rear hatch but i want to know as to go about the positive terminal. the negative is just find a hole, sand down to make nice surface and your good but for the positive does a 8 gauge audio wire need to be runned from the starter to the back? and how about those 2 little bolts under the underhood fuse box that is attached to the starter harness. im kinda confused and need help. thanks H-T

ohh and btw, the underhood fuse box harness will fit behind the ek dash? i wanna clean that corner up abit. i opened the bottom of the fusebox today and there was 3 harness clips so im thinking i can just loop the harness into the cabin and find a spot under or behind the dash for it

You will have to run a large wire to the back (Battery) and to the Starter yes,

<U>Also be certain if you put a fuse as close to the battery as you can.</U>

If you plan on moving your under hood fuses just make sure you can reach them, or you may want to just lengthen the wires and run those under the dash. Im not sure about the effect you want to go with here.

fuse close to the battery? what u mean by that?

as for the underhood fuse box, ya imma see if i can pull on the harness coming from through the firewall and see how much wire i have to work with (i dont want to lengthen wires). Maybe i can zip tie it somewhere behind the glovebox. we'll see with that

Just run 2 or 0 gauge wire into a distribution block up front. From that, tie into the starter and fuse block
