1990 4.0 battery terminals

how many power wires go to the + on the battery i only have one and i think there should be another but idk where it comes from

 

[skynast]

Only one on my 96. Any extra would be for aftermarket parts not running through the breaker panel such as car alarm, spot lights, winch, etc.

dang i cant get power in my truck at all

So you have no power at all? Did you make sure your ground is on and tight? In a stock setup you should have only the one power cable from your + and your - will have two the main that's grounded to the engine block and a smaller one leading to your body.

ill doubt check my grounds this was a 2.9 to a 4.0 swap if that changes anything

check out this page, it should have what you want to look at on it. this is on a 3.0l, but my dads 93 4.0l was the same way when i made new cables for his truck. http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37621&page=29

could you explain where all the wire go to then off battery?

Off the +pos, there should be two, 1 to the starter, and 1 to the fuse box.

Off the +pos, there should be two, 1 to the starter, and 1 to the fuse box.

i have 3 but i also have a stero in it. so only 2 stock ones

 

[ForOffRoadDriving]

one positive goes to the starter lug, the other goes onto the fender mounted solenoid. the positive cable for the fuse box gets its power from the cable attached to the solenoid.

 

[multiranger]

Isn't there one off the alt to the + side of the battery??

 

[Deamers87ford]

how many wires come off starter?
