Okay guys, I am going to need to figure out the alternator wiring sooner than later.
My car was EFI, so I have the following wires coming off of the alt:
Obviously the large white wire that connects to a post using a ring terminal. This wire goes to the fuse box.
Next we have the green connector that has 4 wires.
Bl/Y = Black/Yellow
W/R = White/Red
W/Bu = White/Blue
W/G = White/Green
I need to figure out EXACTLY what these wires do, and how I need to use them.
For those that don't know I eliminated the stock fuse panel, and I am running a standalone 'painless' race panel. FYI it is not actually painless, this is a huge fucking PITA!
Here is what I can tell from my FSM...
Black/Yellow = I think this is stuff that gets activated when the key is at the 2nd click
- Hits all kinds of shit
- Cooling Fan Timer
- Main Relay and Fuel Pump
- Fuel Pump Cut-Off Relay
- Ignition Coil
- Condenser (??)
- Igniter Unit
- Something about Speed Sensors (WTF I thought we had cable speedo, and no electronic VSS (or are they talking about engine speed?))
- IG1 (Ignition Switch Position 1??) Does that mean that the first ignition switch position activates the things above on the list?
White/Red = no idea but I think this went to the ECU
- Goes to the ACGF on both EFI and Carbed models
- what the shit is the ACGF????
White/Blue = guessing that this is the wire that tells the something-or-other when to show the battery light on our dash.
- goes to choke/heater which then grounds
- meets up with the Black/Yellow and has to do with the 'Charge Warning Light' somehow
- Goes to 'Integrated Unit' (don't know what it does there - maybe lights the dash indicator?)
- Goes into 'EFE Unit' (WTF IS THAT??) which then grounds
White/Green = no idea?
- Cooling Fan Relay
- Cooling Fan Motor
- Condenser Fan Motor (Carbed Cars)
- Rear Window Defroster
- Main Relay eventually?
Anyway, if anybody can help me figure out exactly what these wires actually do, and which ones I need to use for the alternator to work properly, it would be greatly appreciated.
I have an accord service manual, and I got the info from the diagrams in the back, but I am terrible at reading these diagrams so my assumptions are probably shit.
Help me out here guys!
Thanks,
Chris
