Thank You, but i ran across a electrical diagram that showed the orange wire from the alternator to the small end of the fuse, hate to question you but just wanted to make sure

It would help if we knew what we were working on. You asked a vague general question, and got a general answer.

Re: 90 amp starter fuse question

Do you have a volt meter or an ammeter on the dash? Is one of the 3 wires (if you have 3 wires) orange?

The orange wire and the red wire with a purple stripe connect to the small terminal on the fuse.
