[Mk2] [Generic] what does this feed to the alternator do?

Post by killerferret666 »

its the one that passes through the 7.5amp ECU-IG feed to the point marked L in the manual.

On the alternator

IG - ignition
L -??
S - ??

Just wondered on the names, seeing as im learning the electrics and dont like not knowing!

Ohh and I know my yellow and black wire is bu88ered in the loom from tests, im just after the names more then anything.

S terminal - Senses battery voltage
IG terminal - Ignition switch that turns the voltage regulator on
L terminal - Closes the circuit to the warning lamp
B terminal - Main alternator output terminal (connected to the battery)
F terminal - Full-field bypass for regulator

just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

Still in the garage...
