This alternator has only a main wire and a 2 wire plug. The bolt on terminal goes to the positive on the battery. The connector has 2 wires a small and a big. The big wire should be red can also go to a 12v source, the easy way is to attach it to the bolt on terminal, and the last wire known as the field wire, most of the time white or green in color must go to an ignition power. Only power when the key is on, this is very important, if you hook it up to battery power the alternator will stay activated and put a draw on your battery, You'll go out in the morning and the battery will be dead.
a 1 wire 100 amp alternator.
It depends on where the wire is being connected on the alternator. It could be the alternator or it could be a damaged wire or connector. It's something that you will need to track down.
I'm sorry, but WHAT DID YOU DO!?!?!?
It's located on the end if the main power wire coming off the alternator. This wire connects to the starter. The fusible link is located on the starter end of the wire.
You can tape them off and tuck them away. One wirewas for the idiot light and the other wire was a trigger wire to excite the old alternator.
The red wire is the positive wire. The black wire is the ground wire. The green wire is speaker wire. The white wire is the auxiliary wire.
Likely a inline type (fuseable link wire) look for a section of wire usually near the battery that is discolored or try to stretch the wire they can burn off or break internaly, test this wire at back of alternator with test light and engine and key off, you should have power at the output terminal as long as the battery cables are connected.
starter on 67 camaro which wire goes were. There are two one purple one yellow.
Loose belt, bad wire connections, or bad alternator. Your local parts store should be able to test the alternator for you.
The purple wire for on starter 1980 Camaro is the solenoid wire. The wire can be dark purple or purple in color.
If it is melting over a period of time, try replacing the connector on the wire at the back of the alternator, or replace the wire and connectors. A little more info would be nice!!!
run it and then disconnect the negative wire from the battery if alternator dies its bad.
