Hi again Piddy,

Thought that maybe THIS might help. Although it might not be the same alternator that you have, the principles should be the same.

Cheers
Chris

Do you mean the wire that provides the charge to activate the alternator coils? Basically to get it to work?

If yes, connect it to a switched live wire, otherwise if it is perm live then the car will keep on running when the ignition is switched off as the alternator will keep the electrics powered.

Thanks again.
Switched live it is then.
