MIG welding

(1/2) > >>

Boomer:
A bit of advice please.
I have to do some minor welding on my 300Tdi and was concerned as to what I need to disconnect to stop the "sparklies" frying my car's electrics. I know the alternator must be unplugged but what else? Battery? Alarm?

Many thanks

rollazuki:
I usually disconnect the battery(both terminals) and Ive never had any probs.
Mebbe safest to remove ecu (not a big job to play safe eh!)

Boomer:
No such fancy 'lectrics on this one, injection is all mechanical.
My main concern was frying the alarm system, but if I disconnect the battery I think it should be OK.

Is your Suzuki only half a horse power !

Thanks for your reply
Boomer

beast5680:
disconnect the battery and get the earth clamp as close to where your welding as possible and you shouldn,t have any problems

hobbit:
I must admit I never disconnect the battery when mig welding, just clamp near the weld area as already mentioned, had no probs with electric/electronics
