Alternator wiring?
What wires colours should i have going to the nova's alternator? The liught is showing on my dash to say its not charging but i recon its wired in right!
A blue/white between the light and the alterternator small terminal.
A thick red from the alternator to the starter motor pos12v terminal/battery
Oh, a a earth between the alt and engine(that could stop it charging if its not fitted)

Hmm it is wired right then, maybe i have ****ed the alternator.
Get a multimeter on the batt when the engines running.
Or whereabouts does the batt gauge sit with the engine running(if you gsi clocks fitted)

I had the same prob with mine, just disapeared after a while i think. Batt light stayed on and putting a volt meter across it showed it was fine.
mines the opposite, my alternator doesnt work, but the light doesnt come on, i dont even get the light on when i turn the ignition on, changed the bulb too, got another alternator now though so i should get it swapped over at the weekend and see what happens.
John.
I have been advised the light should be connected to a switched live and then once the 2 vlotages are the same the light goes out.
The light should get its switched feed from the clocks itself iirc.Originally Posted by MAD_Rick
You definately have an earth strap between the alt and the head?
Yes its charging ok as i can see the battery voltage go up when i start the engine.
I am not running standard clocks so need to figure out the wiring for the new blub setup.
Earth the alt adjuster bracket.
