I'm not sure. The recommendation I received from the shop (and the tag attached to the bolt) was to run a cable from the case to the negative terminal of the battery. Since I have dual alternators I ran a ground cable from the each alternator to the closest battery so each battery is directly "attached" to one alternator case.
I ran a ground wire from the alternator mounting bolt to the grounding bolt through the driver side air intake plenum. So this is all wrong?
Alternator mounting bolt - got it, understand that point
Grounding bolt through the air intake plenum - can you be more specific?
Like Brian, I bought a QuickStart alternator and it came with a bolt on the rear of the case for an additional negative cable to be run to the battery terminal.
I should have some "finished" pictures up on this thread tonight. I will be sure to get a couple close up shots of the negative cable too.
This bright new stud on the front of the new Riff Raff driver side intake plenum (near the orange glove). It is the original grounding location for the AIH. When I removed it, I used the cable and took the AIH end and put it on the Alternator mounting bolt.
The Alternator (Open Loop) will not activate the Voltage Regulator unless the Circuit is competed (closed loop). There are three pins on an isolated Alternator.
(+), (-), and (F).
The Dash Lamp (which has its own fuse), goes off when when the circuit with a Diode is energized, closing the Field Circuit, which, in turn, closes the Voltage Regulator sending Electricity to the Vehicle and Batteries.
I still am looking for the Connection Di gram. You will have to cut/splice two wires for the Second Alternator or the Primary will not allow current to flow from the (B+) Post
If you look at the Schematics (earlier post), you will see the Lamp Indicator and wiring.
Keys, Long Story Short: I had a Job that payed $600. When I was done, it cost me $1,200 from my Pay Check.
When my mechanic grounded the yellow wire the indicator light went out... We're oblivious as to what the problem might be... WE NEED HELP!!
