If this connection is used, it is generally connected to the light in the dash that shows alternator fault (NOT the voltage gauge!) and then through the ignition switch to the positive battery terminal.
On a dodge alternator the two small wires go to the voltage regulator . It doesn't matter which wire goes where, but the red or blue wire needs 12 volts when the key is on. The green wire goes directly to the regulator from the alternator. The large wire goes to the battery and it is important that you don't undersize this wire. The other wire is a ground wire and can be grounded to the block or not used as the case is grounded by the bolts that hold it on.
White wire is for signal voltage and the black wire sends the voltage to the battery, orange/red wire is your field wire that goes out to your external regulator, also there is a signal wire that goes to your battery gauge inside the cab.
I'm sorry, but WHAT DID YOU DO!?!?!?
Not much to it, get the one wire alternator, and brackets from a 302 and mount it up, belts will be the same as the 302, wire goes to the battery. # wire is a bit different, red lug goes to battery, botton 2 wire plug should be exciter and is ignition power and a ground.
To wire a 3-wire alternator, connect the first wire (usually labeled "B" or "BAT") to the battery positive terminal to provide power. The second wire, often labeled "F" or "Field," goes to the voltage regulator to control field current, while the third wire, labeled "S" or "Sense," connects to the battery or the output terminal to monitor the voltage level. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits. Always refer to the specific wiring diagram for your alternator model for precise connections.
Indirectly. The positive cable on the battery is hooked to the starter. The other wire on the starter post goes up to the alternator.
There should be three wires attached to back of the alternator of a 66. You should have a black wire with a red stripe hooked to the GRD post, a black wire with a yellow stripe hooked to the BAT post and a white wire hooked to the FLD post. The black wire with the red stripe is the ground and splits off with one end bolting to the engine block on the same bolt that holds the negative battery cable to the block, the black wire with the yellow stripe goes to the hot side of the starter solenoid, and the white wire goes over to the F post on the voltage regulator.
I have a 1994 mitsubishi mirage and a yellow wire has broken off the alternator i have no idea where it goes. I need help my car will no longer go.
If it has an external regulator. The orange wire comes out of the alternator, then is spiced-"T"- into another wire which still should be orange going to the regulator plug, and the other wire coming from the "T" should be an orange wire with a tracer that goes to the "no charge" light on the dash. The other wire coming from the light goes to the ignition switch.
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?
The alternator light circuit is different from the charging part. The charging part goes to the battery, while the light part goes to the instrument panel. There seems to be a grounded wire in the light circuit.
run it and then disconnect the negative wire from the battery if alternator dies its bad.
