GrayZee Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 The big wire on the bolt on terminal goes directly to the battery The larger of the two wires in the plug in teminal also goes to battery The smaller of the two wires in the plug goes to the charge light in the dash. This is likely your problem as a 240z has a ammeter and no idiot light. Try running the wire to the ground of a small 12v lightbulb and provide it with + power from a ignition switched source. The bulb should light up when you turn the ignition on and go out once the engine is started (just like a idiot light) At this point your alternator should be charging the battery. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
