Alternator connections?
RazMan - 25/2/06 at 11:21 PM

Not sure of the manufacturer but it has a model number V905021. I havent seen the connection layout before but here is a pic.

Can anyone help me out with connections please? Rescued attachment Alternator1.jpg

oops, wrong pic

I assume that the M6 stud goes to starter & battery as normal but what about the three spade connections?

As per the photo:

left = Lamp, middle = Battery sensor, right = ignition.

This is a 'best guess' as I cannot match the part number you have quoted but your photo matches the one in the catalogue.

Thanks Mick - that saved me a lot of head scratching.

I understand all of the connections except for the battery sensor - where does it connect?

I'm no electrical genius I've just got a copy of the Hella catalogue.

Hopefully someone wil come along and enlighten us both soon.

A little bit of Googling tells me that the sense wire is straight to the battery.

So this is how I think it goes ....

Any idea where I can buy a connector for the alternator?

Not entirely related but I'm doing split charging systems using a durite control module and the battery sensing wire might be ok just linked off of the ign feed. Just a thought to save running an extra wire.
If the alternator doesn't see a voltage at this wire it prolly won't charge.

I've got a feeling you are probably right. After all, it is mainly to protect the alternator if the battery gets disconnected somehow isn't it? So if I connect I & G together (and to the switched +12V) then everything should still work ok.
