A denso alternator question...
Anyone know how much current is required on the switched feed to the regulator in a denso alternator?
Cheers,
David

no, but I could measure it.
I am using small wire* that has not gone up in smoke; my guess would be less than 1 A.
update: quick google shows that someone is using 5 A fuse so looking good for my prediction!
* this is brown wire from mains cable so wouldn't be rated at more than 13 A.

Thanks for that.
Was just wondering as I would prefer to tee into another switched live if I can rather than run another cable from the ignition switch.
Part way through the re-wire and I realised I had forgotten it!

Sorry I'll get my coat.

23.8 mA
I have a U-loop running to the coil power supply on the opposite side of the engine bay.
Didn't want to unravel the loom and remove the dash to wire it in "properly".
