Re: Alternator question

ok, let me parrot this back, see if I got it:

I will cut the 4 wires that went into the external regulator.
The red wire will go to the alternator terminal 2 (12 gauge)
The brown wire will go the alternator terminal 1 (12 gauge)
I don’t need the other 2 wires and can cap them off.

The red wire (alt output) will stay with the junction.
Another red wire (10 gauge) added to alt output and will go to my terminal block.

I have 2 radiator fan powers wires that now go to the battery. Remove them and run 10 gauge wires with 30amp fuses to the terminal block. Ditto the A/C fan power.

Add another ground to the alternator (10 gauge). Run it to where my fans are grounded.
So I now have 2 ground and 2 output wires coming off the alternator.

Oh, and thanx to your post #34, I see that I actually need a terminal strip, not a block. Something like this, but with a cover.



Next post will address your other concerns.
