On a dodge alternator the two small wires go to the voltage regulator . It doesn't matter which wire goes where, but the red or blue wire needs 12 volts when the key is on. The green wire goes directly to the regulator from the alternator. The large wire goes to the battery and it is important that you don't undersize this wire. The other wire is a ground wire and can be grounded to the block or not used as the case is grounded by the bolts that hold it on.
I'm sorry, but WHAT DID YOU DO!?!?!?
Not much to it, get the one wire alternator, and brackets from a 302 and mount it up, belts will be the same as the 302, wire goes to the battery. # wire is a bit different, red lug goes to battery, botton 2 wire plug should be exciter and is ignition power and a ground.
Indirectly. The positive cable on the battery is hooked to the starter. The other wire on the starter post goes up to the alternator.
I have a 1994 mitsubishi mirage and a yellow wire has broken off the alternator i have no idea where it goes. I need help my car will no longer go.
If it has an external regulator. The orange wire comes out of the alternator, then is spiced-"T"- into another wire which still should be orange going to the regulator plug, and the other wire coming from the "T" should be an orange wire with a tracer that goes to the "no charge" light on the dash. The other wire coming from the light goes to the ignition switch.
There is either a wire touching the frame or you have a faulty electrical device somewhere in the vehicle. You'll need to follow the wiring diagram and trace back through the biggest current draw. If it's not a wire touching the frame check the alternator and other potentially large current drains. FYI, if an alternator fails it CAN start putting a large drain on the system. Disconnect the alternator to see if the problem goes away. If not, start trying to isolate the problem.
Well depends on which wire you are trying to replace? The hot wire that goes from the alt to the battery? Or the wiring harness?
The alternator light circuit is different from the charging part. The charging part goes to the battery, while the light part goes to the instrument panel. There seems to be a grounded wire in the light circuit.
run it and then disconnect the negative wire from the battery if alternator dies its bad.
If you have a new alternator its as simple as run the one wire to the solenoid. If you are converting the alternator to a one wire, you will need an external regulator.

If this connection is used, it is generally connected to the light in the dash that shows alternator fault (NOT the voltage gauge!) and then through the ignition switch to the positive battery terminal.
