I've ran a 6 ga Alt wire to the battery thru a 200amp fuse, and a 10 ga Alt wire to AAW connector where solenoid wire goes to the harness (purple) and a Battery positive run through a 200 amp fuse to solenoid.

Thanks
Why would you put a 200a fuse on a 6ga wire that cannot carry 1/2 that. Mine as well not have a fuse at all since the wire will melt and catch fire before the fuse will pop. I'd swap in something more practical like a 70a.

Prob do a Google search on amp and 6ga wire
