Were do these wires go?

I took the two main wires off that go to the fuse box on the drives side fender well under the hood. (they are like 4 guage wire....) Anyways, took them off to swap in the 13BT, and I don't remember which one goes on front, and which one goes on back.


Can anyone go look at your car, and tell me if the black wire with the white stripe goes on front/back of the fuse box.


Also there wireing are in the middle of the box (going left-right), and if you open the little plastic door, they are held on by a nut.

The S4's don't have a B/W wire there, so can't help you there...

The biggest wire is the feed from the battery, it connects to a "bus bar" that feeds the remainder of the fuses (power side), and the remainder of the wiring is for the "load" side of the fuses. Don't know if that helps you or not, that last bit you wrote there was kinda confusing...

Anyone with an S5 want to go look?


I'm just wondering which side of the fuse box (front/back) that the wires go on. Or can anyone tell me which side the wire from the battery hooks to?

I got my laptop out by my hood now on wifi...

I know the wire with the 10mm nut you're talking about... that's the 100A main fuse.

Now do you just need to know which side goes to what?

S5 GTU by the way...

Yes! There are two acctually, one is solid black, and the other is black with a white stripe. I just need to know were either one goes.


Like right now, I have the one with the white stripe on the front side of the fuse box, and the solid black one on the back side of the fuse box (back side, being toward the back of the car.)

The battery + side should go on the side closest to the front... closest to the bumper. I can't remmeber exactly.

Doubt these will be of any help.... but just in case.

FSM isn't much help... if all my **** wasn't so taped up and stiff, AND if my damn multimeter would work... I would just go out and check continuity... Lemme see if I can find a 9V battery.

No more work needed!

I know which one come from the battery, so I'll go put that one on the front side.


Thanks for looking at that!
