    Re: Yet another thread about my flickering lights

    I've found one here and it looks like it will work. How do you wire it up to the car?

    Re: Yet another thread about my flickering lights

    You gotta jump some wires near the external regulator but I don't even remember which one is which since I already had my engine harness remade and removed the unused wires from the stock setup but if its anything like mine with 2 pins (3 total including main battery/charging post):

    Pin #1 - S or sense. This senses the actual battery voltage to maintain 14.5v output. Connect to your positive terminal on the battery. You could jump this to the bat post on the alternator but its not recommended as this pin senses the actual battery voltage to maintain 14.5v output. Since old wires tend to corrode and have extra resistance you might get say 0.5v voltage drop at the battery. It senses 14.5v at the output post while the battery would actually get 14.0v

    Pin #2 - L or light. This would go to the charging lamp/bulb on the dash which I believe to be the white with blue stripe wire near the regulator. But then I could be wrong fml I gotta recheck

    Do let me know how many pins your alternator have, I could help with the wiring.

    That's how many the one I'm looking at has: 1 for the main wire then 2 smaller terminals that look like they can take spade connectors. I think your instructions should work fine but I'll let you know if I run into issues. Thank you.

    Hmm that looks just like the stock one... is there a regulator built into that?

    Looks like it. The post is labeled BAT and the plug only takes 2 wires. There's like 4 going into ours.

    EDIT: I was wrong, that's a generator. There's a Beck Arnley that's internally regulated for like 10 bucks more.

    Ok so I have the alternator and know what wires are what on the back. However I'd like to know if you ran the sense wire from the battery back to the alternator or if you just piggybacked it off the BAT post. I'm hoping this finally fixes my turn signal/headlight flicker issue.

    Its better to run it all the way to the battery. I believe I've explained why in my old posts I don't remember
