It is at the rear of the alternator, in the plug that hold the wires that are incerted at the rear.
no you can't
could be something wrong with the distributor. This happened to me a few months ago. My 2001 Honda prelude was only running off the battery for a day or so and I took it in to get the alternator replaced. They did that, but it still was only running off of the battery and my gauges weren't working. I took it back and they replaced the distributor and everything worked again. Or the alternator could be loosely connected. Voltage regulater ng or battery ng Voltage regulater ng or battery ng this is a guessing game with electrical ,i assume you've taken your alternator to get checked ,you could have a loose electrical wire or a blowen fuse also check your battery cables they may need cleaning , good luck.
take off the belt unplug the wire connector form the back of alternator take the nut off the back of the alternator that holds the wire that is connected to the positive battery terminal and take the two bolts on the bottom of alternator that holds it to the engine
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.
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.
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.
The alternator is going bad, may need to be replaced soon
there should be 2 bolts on the alternator one looks slotted that is so you can adjust your tension on your belt your belt will need to be off the alternator pulley loosen and remove both bolts they have nuts on the back of the alternator so you will need a wrench to hold them then un plug the wire and loosen and remove the ground wire off the back of the alternator then installing it is just the reverse
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.
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.
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.
To wire a one-wire alternator on a diesel farm tractor, first ensure the engine is off and the battery is disconnected for safety. Connect the single output terminal of the alternator to the positive terminal of the battery. Ground the alternator’s housing to the tractor’s frame or engine block, as it typically relies on a good ground connection to function properly. Finally, reconnect the battery and start the engine to verify that the alternator is charging correctly.
