RedbeardRacing Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 Looking through my instruction books for the car. I see wiring diagrams for everything but the alternator. @fastg helped me a ton already with wiring my new one up. However, I popped in the main disconnect and instantly heard a pop from the electrical compartment, like a relay didn't like it. So this is where I'm at. all kinds of craziness was hooked up to the old alternator charge wires. From what I can tell, old alternator had two wires... 1) One signal wire, straight to the battery, with a 7.5 amp fuse. (Deleted with new alternator wiring) 2) The ignition wire ran to the main hot switch on the console, from there to the amp gauge and then on to the battery. As of now I disconnected the ignition wire from the old alternator, it still makes it's run to the switch and gauge then back to the battery, but the alternator end is not hooked to anything. should I just hook up the end that was coming from the alternator to the battery? Does any of that make sense? Or do I just need to add the signal wire back? Any help is appreciated.
RedbeardRacing Posted February 25, 2022 Author Posted February 25, 2022 I figured it out. Had some wires crossed up. Clear head and a night's sleep does a lot of good.
