I am at the process of making my own wiring loom from the reamains of the Sierra loom and some Premier relays. I have fitted a Kia Pride alternator to the 2.0 litre pinto and am trying to find out the way to wire the alternator up. I know from previous experience that the largest wire will go to the permanent live on the starter solenoid, but dont know where the two other smaller wires will have to go. One, I assume will have to go to an ignition light, but which one and the other maybe for a rev counter. The two wires I have to sort are part of a conbined plug that I am yet to get out as it is locked in some how and are coloured black with a red tracer and black with a white tracer anyone any ideas

Maybe you could supply a larger photo.

I can only just make out the molecules on that one and atomic level would be more interesting!

As for the wires I'm pretty sure they're a 12v feed for the electromagnet and a charge light for the dash.

I hope that's right anyway- as it's the way I'm about to wire up mine!

Cheers,
James

do you know which is which and is the 12 volt supply you mention permanent or only on when the ignition is on ?

you have u2u on subject
