    So having some problems with this n14 columbia I just bought, they changed to an n14 from isx.. having some 434 code , engine dying ..

    50 amp alternator fuse burnt, traced the amp wires with the fuse, and they end in this connector, seems weird that the connector is at the other side of engine, with no other endings

    any ideas ?

    disconnected it, truck working, but alittle worried about it

    That looks like possibly a 130 amp 30 SI alternator. Why would that run through a 50 amp fuse? You are probably good now. Might consider a little rewiring.
