What function does the third wire not the battery wire and not the wire with the plastic clip serve on the alternator of an 87 Nissan pickup?
The third wire is for whats called the sensing or pre-excitation circuit. This wire supplies the initial current from the battery to the alternator's field coil that starts the buildup of the magnetic field that allows the alternator to start producing current.

What are the wires for on alternator?
There should be a heavy wire called the Alternator output wire, It carries power from the alternator to power your accessories and to maintain your battery. The smaller wires usually in a plug are either the alternator's voltage sense, Stator/ACurrent/Tachometer output, regulator/indicator light. or if its an Externaly regulated alternator they will be alternator Field, Stator/ACurrent/Tachometer. hope this helps
How do you remove the alternator on a 1996 Pontiac Bonneville?
before you do anything with the alternator, make sure to unplug the battery. Then unplug the cables going into the alternator. There should be two. For the belt there is an engine part called a pulley - lift the pulley upwards to loosen the belt and take it off the alternator. Next you can unscrew the bolts attaching the alternator and take it out.
Why might replacement alternators on a 1995 Chevy Blazer keep quitting?
You could have killed some or all the cells in the battery. You need to replace both battery and alternator at the same time. I had the same problem. After I replaced both I've had no more problems. Take battery and alternator to auto Zone or Advanced Auto so they can test them. Buy new battery and alternator if needed. Fly wheel (Not sure what it is really called) where starter goes could be bad causing starters to wear out.
How do you get the battery light to go off when you replace the alternator in 1999 ford windstar?
I have a 99 Windstar and when my mechanic replaced the alternator the battery light would not go out he took back about 2 alternators, stating that the alternator was not good, because the battery light stayed on. Finally, he had the last one he put in tested and it was fine, but the battery light still came on. He called a Ford mechanic and they said you have to use a ford alternator, because the computer can not recognize other brands of alternators. Once he did the light went out. He said occasionally it will recognize an off brand, but when it doesn't the battery light stays on and it can cause problems with the computer, and I believe he said the cyliniod could burn out. He just bought a re-built alternator from the ford dealer for about $199.00

If alternator is hooked up in reverse polarity what happens?
"If you connected the battery in reverse that will certainly fry the alternator and cause damage to any other polarity sensitive components as well. The alternator is NOT suposed to spark, it charges by by generating alternating current which is converted to direct current through a diode pack known as the rectifier, and the voltage is regulated by some more electronic wizardry called (amazingly enough) a regulator. Normally when alternators go wrong the charging warning light will glow, and you will get the wrong readings from your voltmeter (if your car has one)."
Why would a new battery on a Chevy Celebrity show to be charging yet you cannot unhook the battery terminals as if it was not charging?
if it stalls when you remove positive battery terminal then your alternator is bad Yes, it could be the alternator, but I have an 89 Celebrity and when I first got it we had the same problem and would die out every few minutes and need a boost. We changed the alternator, did not help. We bought a Duralast Gold battery from Auto Zone which helped a little but did not fix the problem. We then took the car to an alternator repair shop called Gabby's in Knoxville TN and they replaced a large fuse under the dashboard and I never had the problem again. Cost me $5.00.
