    M1083A1 Wire Numbers for Location/

    TL number is a 4 gauge andcapable of reaching the alternator. I will go to the schematic again. I do have to say the schematic for the A0 are alot nicer and easy to follow than the A1's. My opinion for what that is worth. LOL I think I just figured it out, hand over hand to find the other end?
