FAQ 02
Question: - How do I connect my new alternator? Answer: There was a note in the Sept, Oct, or Nov issue of Hot VWs and Dune Buggies. (I wrote an email in October in which I say "the current issue", but it's hard to correlate the magazine month since they are always at least a month ahead) This is what they say: "The info you seek is in a nice 3 page Do It Yourself Generator to Alternator article in the March 1991 issue of How VWs (back issues are avaialable, costing $6 each) postage included). If you just looking for wiring update, here's a rundown. At the alternator: small green wire to D+; large red wire to B+; Under rear seat, remove the generator's regulator and splice: small green wire to small blue wire (goes to speedo generator warning light); large red wire from alternator to other large red wires (ignition switch lead, and positive battery lead). Note that the warning light must work, or the alternator will not charge." keywords: generator all faq02 |
