    red wire to battery in loom RRC

    Hi guys I have a thick red wire coming out of the RRC loom straight to the positive post of the main battery. its ~ 5mm wire (thicker then most others in the loom)

    I've looked in the wiring diagrams and there is only the wire going to the starter shown.

    When I remove it the car still runs and nothing obvious appears not to work so not sure what its for

    I bought a fuse block so considering running it through (max of 100Amps - entire block) but I'd like to know what its for first without hacking the loom to chase it, so I know 1 if its needed and 2 what is fuse to put it through.

    AFAIK, none of those wires or fuses or relays are stock spec, so IMHO you are on your own.
    The only wires that look stock are the ones in the black tape under the smaller fuse block.
    The stock + from battery wires are usually light brown.

    I'd hazard a guess seeing what's around it, a power cable to the a/c compressor clutch relay on an aftermarket system? Just run a new wire, it's only a short length.

    That pics just showing the new flash fuse block holder.
    the wire in question is not shown...my bad

    my only thinking that original is its runs straight into the loom and it appears to have the original tape on it. (it has been lengthen so it reaches the battery post) reason for this is unknown.
