Kiwibirdman Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I am doing the wiring on my EJ Holden. The alternator on the VT commodore V8 has a ply with 2 wires going into it. It looks like one side has power the other goes into the wiring loom. Does anyone know if this is required for the alternator to provide charge or will it work as single wire?

cletus Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Is it a bosch alternator with a plug that looks like an injector plug on it? If so One is the sense wire, goes to the battery Other one is the warning lamp I got one the other day and I think the guy said it will work without the warning light hooked up but it's a good idea to hook it up anyway 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vk327 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 brown wire is the alternator light. wire from ignition feed thru a diode thru a light and to the brown wire. white is the alternator voltage sense, ideally wired to the battery + terminal (can be looped to the alternator + stud) let me know if ya have any problems getting your standalone setup going, been a while since i done that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, getting dangerously close to fire up. Keep getting side tracked on other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
