Mark, What sort of alternator are you running - I only recall seeing D+ & D- connections on Delco (GM) alternators but I guess there are others, don't think I've seen a Hitachi with them though.
The Indicator wire at the Alternator on an Aussie 1600 is Yellow and it connects into a plug on the drivers side strut tower just behind the stock battery position. The Indicator wire changes colour at that plug to White/Red trace just to fool everyone. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mark Firman Sent: Thursday, 13 June 2002 9:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: starter/alternator/wiring troubles Thanks for the reply Mark, but do you have any idea what colour/guage wire i should be looking for that comes from the dash warning light? Also, where on the alternator does it hook up to? I have three places, D+, D-, and the screw connected to the alt housing. If the wire from the screw in the back isn't meant to go to earth then where should it go? Sorry about all the questions but i am lost! Thanks heaps!
