The OEM wire harness went up in smoke, literaly, so I have been re-wiring the truck from bumper to bumper and have gotten to the charging system.
I have a Motorcraft alternator. Thats all I know about the alt. besides the fact that it has the following terminals on it: BAT FLO GRD and of course an unmarked terminal.
If I understand things right I need to wire the alt. like this...
BAT= Hot wire that goes to the + post on the battery.
FLO= Ignition On/Key Hot wire goes here.
GRD= Ground the alternator.
Does that look right? Have I missed anything?
Do I need a voltage regulator in my system, if so where in the power circuit would the regulator need to be?
