Re: Continued Charging system troubles

After reconnecting, still no charging happening. I may just order a one wire alternator, what direction does the alternator rotate. (I can see it but wasn't sure if it was as viewed from the front, or from behind.)

Re: Continued Charging system troubles

Clockwise, viewed from the front. I'm no electrician, but you would get a better charging system with a regular 3-wire alternator. See, http://www.madelectrical.com/electrical ... wire.shtml

Re: Continued Charging system troubles

Thanks PaulH! That was a great article on alternators, the kind that I really enjoy! I'm going to put in the 1-wire temporarily and try to figure out what's wrong with my wiring in the mean time so I can put the 3-wire back in. At least that way it charges the battery when im driving for now.

Re: Continued Charging system troubles

Most alternators are bidirectional.
I would rather have tools I do not need than to need tools I do not have
