What is screw is for the hot wire?
The gold terminal
Wiring off road lights?
I would wire them using a common relay and a ground switched circuit i.e. Terminal #30 Hot Terminal #87 Load Terminal #85 Hot Terminal #86 Switched to Ground
How do you find were the hot wire on the alternator run to your car shuts off as soon as you take the hot off the battery?
assuming that no one has cut a wire, the alternator is probably bad. could be a fuse. Depending on car, it could be a fusible link. Process of elimination. The main large wire on the back of the alternator runs to the battery. Should be smaller wire on the positive cable.
Why does your alternator get hot and car shuts off when you remove positive wire?
The alternator is going bad, may need to be replaced soon
How do you wire a Nema L5-30 plug?
An L5-30P is a two pole three wire grounding 30 amp, 125 volt plug . The neutral wire is connected to the W terminal, the ground wire to the G terminal and the hot wire to the only terminal that is left. The small blade/slot is neutral (white), the larger blade/slot is hot (black) and the notched blade/slot is ground (green).
94 T100 just cleaned motor with degreaser what would cause the alt to start smokingkey off.?
Having never worked on a T100, this will be a generic answer which applies to all vehicles in genreral. Usually, there is a heavy wire that runs from the alternator to the positive terminal of the battery. When the engine is running and the alternator is creating electrical power, this is the wire that carries the current to charge the battery. This wire is HOT all the time as it does not go through any switch. I suspect that the degreaser acted as an electrolyte, making water which got into the alternator highly conductive, and thus shorted the hot wire to the grounded case of the alternator. The short resulted in a high current flow, which caused generation of enough heat to either boil the water to steam, or burn the insulation on that wire or another in the alternator, resulting in the "smoke" you observed.
Where does the wire from the automatic choke hook to on a 1988 b2200 Mazda pickup?
it connects to any positive(hot wire) terminal controlled by key.
Why would a new alternator get very hot within one minute of being installed on a 1999 Pontiac grand am?
91 Honda accord the alternator is getting hot
Chevrolet Sprint or Suzuki 86-89 Nippon Denso alternator-which terminal of the three flat blade terminals should be connected to the ignition circuit to tell the alternator to charge?
On most ND three pin plug style alternators the pins are marked as "L" / "S" / "IG" The only other connection is usually a large single post terminal marked "B" This is the main wire connected to your battery and is hot at all times. The three others are fairly easy to understand. "IG" This is the Ignition wire and issues the "wake up" to energise the circuit when ignition is switched on "L" This terminal is connected through to the charge warning light on your instrument cluster "S" This terminal is connected to your battery source and is hot at all times, it may even be connected to the main wire on the large B terminal in the loom but more often to the battery through a fusible link hope this helps
How do you hot wire a 1990 Ford Thunderbird?
Jumper wire from Battery + to Coil+Jump starter solenoid from smaller trigger terminal to starter side
How do you replace alternator wire on 2001 kia optima 4 cylinder?
Well depends on which wire you are trying to replace? The hot wire that goes from the alt to the battery? Or the wiring harness?
On a 1961 Impala how do you modify the wiring harness from a generator to a modern alternator with a built-in regulator?
Hey Ginger==It is very simple.The alternator has 3 connections. One big one for the hot wire from the battery whivh is hot all of the time. The F terminal needs a wire that has voltage when the ignition is turned on and the L terminal goes to the light on the dash. These three wires are at the regulator and just need a little of checking out to find out which one goes where. GoodluckJoe THE EASIEST WAY IS TO INSTALL WHAT'S CALLED A SELF-EXCITING OR ONE-WIRE ALTERNATOR. THE ARE AVAILABLE AT AUTO PARTS STORES AND ON THE INTERNET THROUGH RETAILERS AND E-BAY. YOU WILL PROBABLY NEED TO PURCHASE A MOUNTING BRACKET KIT IN ORDER TO ADAPT YOUR NEW ALTERNATOR AS WELL. THE BEAUTY OF THE ONE WIRE IS THAT IT ELIMINATES THE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WIRES GO WHERE. ALL YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO DO IS RUN A CABLE FROM THE B+ STUD TERMINAL ON THE BACK OF THE ALTERNATOR TO THE BATTERY. THAT'S IT, NO FUSS. ERICK When you convert from the external regulator alternator, you no longer need the regulator that is mounted on the radiator support. You also don't need some of the wiring that is present in the loom. The diagram below shows the original connection at the old regulator. (I'm sorry, but the wire that is colored yellow, is really white)The next diagram shows how you modify the loom at this location. Notice that the blue wire is jumpered to the brown wire. The white wire and the orange wire are just capped off so that they will not short out to anything. This next diagram shows what you have to do at the new alternator. The wire that goes from the "BATT" terminal to the #2 terminal is a new wire that you will have to add. You can use a 14 gauge wire. The white wire (shown yellow) just gets capped off. You will need a new connector to fit the new alternator and they can be purchased at almost any auto parts shop. Due to my being bothered by the "extra" wire being in the loom, I totally removed the dead white and orange wires. I also wired the brown wire to the alternator directly. It just gets rid of some extra length of wire. The prior paragraph has caused me a lot of e-mail feed back and hopefully the following information will clear it up. In my final wiring configuration, the "brown wire" comes from the alternator indicator light, through the firewall connector, and directly to the alternator. The result is electrically the same as the diagram at the top of the sheet, just cleaner. The diagram above would have the brown wire coming out of the connector at the firewall, going toward where the regulator was, connecting to the blue wire, then the blue wire goes to the alternator. As I said, I cleaned up the wiring (and in the process, dirtied up the wording). In order to ensure good connections, I recommend that you always solder the connections and then use heat shrink tubing to seal it.
