alternator connections urgent help needed before it gets dark 200 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Bearnoel on  Sat Dec 27 09:22 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I am replacing the alternator on my recently acquired 1990 245 Before I connect the battery and get the engine running, I would like to confirm that I have properly reconnected as follows.


1 The big red cable goes on the bigger post with a 10 mm nut next to the brush holder,protected by a plastic snap cap.

2 The blue wire with the spade connector goes to the smaller post next to the no 1 connection and

3 The other blue wire with a flat round connection is connected with a nut at the end to the longest of the four studs that holds the body of the alternator together

When I took out the original alternator it was at night time and I did not properly visualise the set up. The old alternator had two instead of one long studs amongst the four which hold it togetherand this added to my confusion since the new alternator has only one.

The sun is now disappearing and i would like to get confirmation that everything is properly reconnected
