Verify against this..after checking the fuse: http://www.tunedport.com/newhtml/smallalt.html If that don't get it, consult with tech support at the place you bought your wire harness. Steve --- The way my setup goes is this: From the fuse panel there's a tan wire that says to gen light which gets 12v with ignition on. This is hooked up to one side of my idiot light. The other side of my idiot light is hooked up to the L wire on the alternator plug. Then of course I have the charge post on the alternator hooked up going to the main junction block. What happens is this. I turn the key to the ign position and the gen light comes on like it's supposed to. When I start the car the light stays on and the alternator doesn't charge. When I check the tan L wire on the alternator plug with the key in the ign on position I measure 2.46v and with the car started it was I believe around 9.8v or so. I was told this alternator should have at least 35 ohm of resistance going to the L wire. The best option was to use the idiot light as the resistance and no further resistance was needed. This is how the car is currently wired and sits tonight. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I found that diagram, but I've found 3 other sites that that's incorrect. Also, I tried it that way and it didn't work at all. As far as consulting the tech support, I tried that and they spoke in circles around me. I really had no clue what that guy was talking about. He didn't sound too sure himself, but he used a lot of electrical jargon that I'm just not able to follow. Their kits come with a harness for a 12SI alternator and the directions explain how to hook that up. When I called and mentioned a CS-130 he kind of stumbled and acted like I was the first one to ever do this or call about it. I also called Mark at MAD Electrical (some of you may be familiar with his website... VERY good website if you haven't checked out the tech section yet DO SO)... and he talked me through my current setup. By all accounts, this SHOULD work and it's not. And lastly, there is no fuse for this tan wire at the fuse panel. It does have 12v though so I know it's okay. Thanks for the suggestions.

RE: [Chevelle-List] CS-130 alternator wiring help - LONG
But have you checked the fuse that's in the circuit's of the F and L wires? Also, there is an ol codger that works at Haywire wiring harness electrical products that I once seen at a hot rod wiring seminar. He said he takes questions from people all the time and encourages it. Even if you haven't bought their products. Their web site leaves a lot to be desired, but some very knowledgeable people there. I'd try getting support from them. This area is my weakest area of electrical systems or I'd try to help more.
