Wiring Diagram explanation

Hi

I have an easy question for you guys.
My wiring diagram is in english and my language is norwegian = don't understand everything.

On the wiring diagram alternator it reads L - B - S and IG, what says ?

I'm trying to wire my alternator, as there was a 3Y engine in it before and now there is a 22re.
But in the meantime there was a V8, and alot of cutting and crap has been done = big mess in the fusebox on the right fender.

If anyone have a picture of this box, inside and underneath it would have been GREAT :

Also, how big is the black and green fuse here ? I can see the red one is 30A.

wow that is a mess if possible if you have the time get the Toyota Electrical manual for the year you have . If you can get one over there.

Your other option is to get a engine harness that is all in one piece no matter it is going to be a slow process

good luck

IG is ignition (+12volts when key is on). L is to the alternator light. At ground when the alternator is not turning, 12v when turning and producing power. B is the separate heavy-gauge wire that is the output of the alternator. It goes directly to the battery through an 80amp fuse. S (which I believe 'means' stator) is to the B line, through a 40amp fuse. It supplies the 12v from the battery to the stator, which allows the alternator to produce power.

IG, L and S are in one connector at the alternator, B is a separate line to the copper stud.

On my 1994 v6, I have four "big" fuses; the 80 and 40 referred to above, and two 30s for the heater fan and the "AM2" circuit.

Your fuse box appears different from mine; you'll find better help here if you specify your year and engine size (though I realize, in your case, things may have been changed around a lot).

Good luck, and welcome to Yotatech.

Without seeing what you have... that makes it difficult.

The alternator should have a post connection and a 3-wire plug. The post connection is a heavy gauge white wire which goes to the battery. In the 3 wire plug should be another smaller white wire (which is parallel to the heavy white wire) and should have battery voltage all the time, a yellow wire which interfaces with the charge light on the dash, and a red wire which is hot (has 12v) with the key on.

Yes, its a 85 Hilux. Used to be a 3Y in it, but now there's a 22re. In between there was a V8. This is a half-finished project I have bought, and I'm trying to figure out what's been done and put it back together how its supposed to be.

Being an 85, can you tell if it had the regulator as part of the alternator or a separate regulator? That makes a little bit of difference in the wiring.

Ok, finaly had time to look at this mess.
Apparently there has been a separate regulator, but now the regulator is part of the alternator. At least so I think as the alternator is brand new... is there anyway to tell if it's part of it ?

And what is the little difference in the wiring ?

Bad response here, guess there is no one who bothers to look, but I just continue to throw out questions just incase someone does.
The pink 30A and the green 40A is linked/bridged, need to know the wires connected on the bridge side (where they lead to), can't figure it out from my wiring diagram.

The truck.

TIS requires US mailing and billing address
Can't figure that link between the 30A and 40A.

Hi all, I am the Toyotarunningman literally. I might as well be running everywhere cause the 4runner isn't moving. I have owned my 88 4runner with the 3.0 v6 now for about 4 months and don't know what the hell happened. I have not had any electrical issues since I owned it. On the way into work, I blew my cig lighter fuse. Didn't think much about it that early in the morning. After work I was showing a buddy the heater hoses under the hood due to my heater not working. When we finished, I dropped my hood and the engine just shut off quickly. I had a burned out a fuse in the driver's side kick-panel fuse box.I swapped out another 15 amp fuse and started it up. The next day the cigarette lighter fuse blew yet again. I got home and turned the key off. I couldn't start it then. It cranked over fine but wouldn't turn on. About a week later I turn the ignition on after playing with the 30A and 40A fuses under the hood. The next day nothing. It cranks all day long but won't turn on.
My fuel pump and sending unit were replaced shortly after buying it due to the fuel guage needle jumping all over the place.

Things working currently:
Heater blower
All guages on the dash
All lights inside and out.
Radio
A helicopter wire troubleshooting guide is easier to figure out than this chilton's manual.
Anyone out there a electrical engineer (lol)? Could use some help on this thing right now.
Puzzled????
