NewZed Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 You need a diode on one of the wires from the T plug. You didn't say what year car you're working with. But it's a common problem, after people rewire their 240Z's to use an internally regulated alternator. Pretty sure that the L wire is the one that needs a diode. Position the diode so that current only flows to the alternator but not back. Found a good description. I think that all you need to do is add the diode. Post #4. Assuming that somebody else already rewired everything else for an internally regulated alternator. http://www.zcar.com/forum/10-70-83-tech-discussion-forum/110443-more-73-240z-voltage-regulator-swap.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emil Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 My car is a 280zx 1981 so it always have a internally regulator I think... that's what people told me..! The blue wire in the t goes to the volt light and that's work! But if I disconnect blue wire it stops running whit key turn off... I have a wiring diagram from Haynes but I can't figure it it why it won't work...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, basically, your wiring is not as the factory intended it. Get the factory wiring diagram and make it like it was.
