Alterntor wiring...............

[fred cook]

I removed the (Valeo) alternator from my SC engine about 3 weeks ago. When I removed it I tagged the wires as to location, but the tags became unreadable when I cleaned/degreased the shroud.



This is how I remembered the leads being attached. Is this correct or do I need to re-do this wiring. By the way, this alt has the internal regulator.


Thanks

Take a look at this. You can see the connections in my pics.

The brown wires (with boot) connect opposite of Voltage Regulator. That should give you enough of a point of reference.

MCA,

Thanks, looks like I need to go back in! A couple of questions:
1) is your alternator Paris-Rhone Valeo or Bosch?
2) Do all the brown wires (3 small an large from engine) go to the same post?
3) I can't quite make out where the blue wire is connected.

Thanks,

Hmmm .... I think mine is a Bosch with a Valeo Voltage Regulator.

The three brown wires that you see bundled (twisted) together and the green (used to be blue?) wire all go on a terminal.

The two bundled red wires that end in a single connection go on another terminal.

The single red wire goes on another terminal.

Does anybody have a Valeo so that we can help out Fred?
