If you could find the wires to the back of the ign switch, it would
be good to have the color code for each terminal to double check but
I think I can get it all wired right without know ing the code and
terminal numbers by just matching wire numbers. There are 2 30
terminals, Batt+ with the same gauge wire so it should not make any
difference which is which. Other than those, I think every wire has
a distinct color code.
I will try to send a photo of the plug in a separate email.
Thanks!
Sorry, the fold-out wiring diagram is too big for my scanner. I'll see if
I can puzzle out the ign switch connections.
Battery voltage: You may want to closely inspect the harness connector at
the alternator to make sure the female side is tight enough to really grip
the male spade. Test: If you can hook up your voltage meter to the battery
so that you can see it while next to the alternator, engine running, then
you press on the alternator harness and see if the charging voltage changes
(engine running). On my wagon, I battled a low voltage condition for years
until I finally popped the female side out of the plastic connector housing
(cracked that up good but not so bad that it was unusable) and crimped
those down so they really bit onto the spade, and that solved my problem.
I was getting very similar numbers to what you report, and the alternator
light would sometimes glow faintly at night.
