240Z_Master Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Alright, it's pretty easy to wire up the alternator... I did all of this while removing the plug also... On the alternator there is a sticker, and it should show a diagram for "L" and "S". 1) The White/Black wire from the old alternator should be connected to the "L" 2) The Yellow wire from the old alternator should be connected to "S" 3) The power is obvious and goes to the one with the 12mm nut on the alternator 4) The ground goes to the back of the alternator As for the diode, "As posted from Bastaad525" Looking at the connector that used to go to the regulator, there should be five or possibly six wires going into it. You only need to worry about four of these. First, you need to bridge the plain white wire, to the plain yellow wire (though on my car the wires were so aged that they both looked yellow !!!) using the jumper wire. Then you're going to use your diode to bridge the black w/white stripe wire, to the white w/black stripe wire. Now, the diode has a greyish stripe on one end of it, you want that end with the stripe to go into the white w/black stripe wire. Dont worry if you get this wrong it wont hurt anything. The diode acts like a check valve, allowing current to only flow one way... what happens without it is the alternator will keep back-feeding current to the ignition system causing the car to keep running after being turned off. http://www.zcarcreations.com/howto/voltreg.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
