I think I have my (stock 3rd gen) alternator wired wrong. I'm seeing 15+
volts on the buss. There are 2 wires coming out of the plug (not counting
the B lead). I wired one to the alternator field switch, and the other to an
LED (I thought it was the charge idiot light). Is the second wire the
voltage sensor? Should this go directly to the battery?
Regards,
John Slade
