All,

I removed my alt the other day as it was only putting out 11.3v.
Put the new one in but cannot figure out where one of the wires is that plugs into it.
This is one of the systems that uses a 5 wire regulator.
I have the main plug in (3 wires) and the hot wire, the one with the boot over it.
Now there is a smaller connector. What frigging wire goes there?
see this photo stolen from another post.
Looking for a shot of the wire that connects to the smaller terminal on the left
Since I cannot find what it is, if you can take a pic of the alt connected to it and where it goes into the harness for me?
thanks in advance!

 

Just changed the Alt on my '83...I believe that's the ground terminal.. It was a 18g white wire coming from the same wire harness as the Connector.. Good luck

 

I just looked at mine and I couldnt get the damn harness off. But I did see that the terminal on the right is a big white wire and the as far as the left one its a green wire, white/black, and a yellow wire. Here is a pic of where it connects on the other side near the engine coolant container. Im gonna get my lil roller cart out and get under the truck and see if I cant get at the harness and which wire goes where.

 

Checked that white wire in the wiring diagram, I'm wrong, its not a ground wire.

 

Here is some general info, hopefully it will at least point you in the right direction...
