Is it the correct alternator for your vehicle? What are you working on? If you add a little more detail to your question I'm sure it will be simple to answer but we don't even know what you're working on.
It is at the rear of the alternator, in the plug that hold the wires that are incerted at the rear.
go to the store and get a new plug for your year of car cut the wires hook them up to the same color tape or shrink wrap exposed wire plug into alternator good to go
On a Delco, an external regulated alternator has a square plug, while the internal has a rectanguler plug.
Why would you want to? should be a 3 pin plug in the back of the alternator.
This wire allows the alternator to keep the battery charged.
take the belt off the alternator and take out the 3 bolts that hold the alternator to the engine and unplug the wires that plug into it and you have it off.
I have a 1997 ford expedition that the alternator is not charging the battery. Had the alternator tested and it was good the battery is new. Cant find the fuse for the alternator does anyone know where it is?
there should be an alternator "plug" which consists of 2 wires that go to a plastic plug that snaps into the alternator. the wire lead should be a part of the engine wire harness located on drivers side firewall about 1 1/2 feet below wiper deck. the alternator itself has a screw off back side that can be removed for internal wiring issues related solely to the alternator itself. i would buy a manual from your local auto parts store (or order it in) for the 80 TA it should have a diagram for the alternator wiring with an exploded view.
More than likely they connect to the positive and negative polarities of the power source.
Should be a max of 5-6 bolts, and a electrical plug. Disconnect neg. battery cable. Unplug, plug from alternator. Remove belt from alternator pully. Undo bolts holding alternator, should all be visable. May have to wiggle or twist alternator to get out after bolts and plug are undone. Now work backwards to put back in. I had to put my belt on first and tighten the bolts.
a yamaha blaster obviously has an alternator, just like any engine, if it wouldn't have an alternator how do you expect the spark plug to light up?
if a battery has a bad cell it wont hold a charge, but it could also be the alternator or the plug, i had a problem with the plug and had to change it from a junk yard, but before you do that i would check the easy parts first i.e the battery,then the cables, then the tension of the alternator belt, and finally the alternator itself along with the pigtail get a volt meter and test the current while the car is running, if it reads 13 to 14 volts the alternator is working and if it reads bellow 12 it is the alternator or plug. aojedamCheck your battery, it might be worn out and not able to hold a charge from the alternator.
