Velocita Rosso Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 No cover?Basically...somebody has been dabbling and a multimeter looks necessary on this jobOne thick brown should go to the starter solenoid and a thin wire to the red ignition warning light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberosa Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 i removed the cover so i could see betterthe alternator was a replacement from paddocks but forgot to take notice how it was wired up when i took the car apart all those years agoi have more trouble identifying the pins really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody47uk Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Has someone doubled up the main output cable to cope with the increased amperage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberosa Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 its a new loom from rimmersi put the yellow connector on as the one supplied would not fit the alternator. But it was 2 wires into one connector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
