Re: Internally regulated alternator help

Thanks everyone so far!!!

Found I had made a stupid mistake and didn't notice a bend in the wire going to Pin 2. It was actually the old ground wire from the external regulator.

I took and jumped from pin 2 to the pin on the back of the alternator. The pin on the back of the alternator is fed from the horn relay (which is fed from the battery).

The blue wire is still hooked to pin #1.

Now I have no charge light on the dash when key is on (engine off), but have the charge light lit when the engine is running.

The good news is that I AM showing over 14 volts on the alternator when running, but only 12.2 on the battery.

Currently my external regulator is as follows:

Top and bottom wires are cut at the old regulator, 2nd from top (black wire is cut since I trimmed the brown wire and ran to pin #1). Red wire (3rd from top) is still hooked up to the horn relay.

Good news is that my alternator is good. Bad news is that I'm lost on the wiring now LOL.
