I just learned my car has a sensor on the negative terminal. Do you think I can run a much thicker wire thru it, and still get proper readings? Also, I was told to only have 1 ground wire from the battery, with the oem sensor connected. Would your conductor interfere with any oem stuff? Thx for your time! Cool video!
Hi Jason, The Conductor wouldn't inherently interfere with any OEM operation. It simply adds onto. The interference would come if you decide to change, or eliminate factory equipment or wiring routes. The OEM sensor is to regulate alternator voltage for fuel economy management. removing the sensor would revert the alternator to it's default setting, which is the max factory voltage, usually around 14v. This makes it more like a pre 2005 car. So it depends on your system. If you are adding a large battery bank and after-market alternator, there is no need for the sensor and it can be removed or bypassed. If you are using a factory battery and alternator, items like the conductor can simply add on to your existing wiring.

Not likely. What year make and model?
2012 Infiniti G37xs sedan. It has what looks like 8 gauge wire on it stock. My plan now, is to try to fit a 0 gauge wire thru the stock sensor. o.0
