Re: Need a little wiring help

Bound to figure this out on my own if I keep plugging away, maybe it will help someone else out.

Found this thread that basically says in a sense that BOTH ways can/will work.

http://www.311s.org/pmwiki-311/pmwik...EarlyThreeWire

I'm assuming these alternators can work either way, as 3 wire setup, or '1 wire setup'

In his case on the one wire it looks like hes looping the batt post to the #2 (sensing) post.

Which in a sense is doing the same thing as putting the excitor wire to terminal 2 as well, only then its only seeing power through the excitor wire when the ignition is 'on'

When its jumped from the batt post to terminal 2 it would see power all the time....

So I guess I am just going to use ORRIEG's way and do the ALT power to the main lug. and EXCITOR white to
