Re: generator to altenator conversion?
Shorty Cox, also, here are the directions that were provided by CPP with their harness, maybe this will help you with your response? [My notes in brackets.] Hopefully this clarifies and not confuses.
Connector/wire # ---> Location
1 ---> To bottom portion of 9-way firewall connect on driver's side of firewall. [This is the main connector to the firewall]
2 ---> To headlamp harness plug in front of radiator support. [easy]
3 ---> To horn relay. [easy]
4 ---> To horn. [easy]
5 ---> To voltage regulator (BAT terminal) [thick and thin red wires, spliced together]
6 ---> To voltage regulator (ARM terminal) [voltage regulator is not labeled]
7 ---> From battery (+ terminal) to voltage regulator [thick red wire, easy]
8 ---> From voltage regulator (ARM terminal) to generator (ARM terminal). [a thick brown wire]
9 ---> From voltage regulator (FIELD terminal) to generator (FIELD terminal). [a thin blue wire]
10 ---> From voltage regulator (GROUND mounting bolt) to generator (GROUND bolt). [a thick black wire]
Currently, I'm assuming:
- the #8 wire connects to the big battery "post" on the back of the alternator, also the red wire on the pigtail is also connected to the same "post" (and is looped with #9 at the end that would connect to the voltage regulator)
- the #9 wire connects to the white wire on the pigtail (voltage regulator end is spliced with wire #8)
- the #5 wire(s) is connected to the positive (+) battery terminal
- wire #6 is loose
Not sure if any of that is correct, but it's where I am sitting currently by going off of your directions.
Do I need to attach the #10 (ground) wire that would normally go to the generator? The other end would normally attach to the voltage regulator. But if the 12SI generator doesn't need to be grounded, I would assume not?
Again, appreciate any help.
