Wiring is standard apart from megajolt (please tell me thats not fried!) which is on a switched live. Also - whats correct wiring for a standard three pin alternator in a mini with the wing mounted solenoid? as the wires are melted, I can't decifer colour etc. sorry to hear this buddy, its always the simplest mistakes that end up fucking it all up, couple Q's i can answer, mjlj should be ok there are diodes and voltage stabilisers or some bollox in there no doubt it was switched off anyway yeah?... cool on the alt, the 2 thicker ( brown with yellow ish stripes or something) not sure mine was soo dirty lol anyway the 2 thicker ones go straight to the starter solenoid on the permanent live post ( direct to battery) the smaller of the 3 ( brown with green stripe maybe ( from memory lol)) goes in to the dash where it connects to one side of the alternator bulb, the other side is switched live hope its a simple fix for you Edited by Brett on 26th Feb, 2013. Yes i moved to the darkside |

Brown yellow is to the dash light. you will have a fat brown wire straight to the starter/solenoid and another wire that us a switched live On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Both wires appeared to go to the solenoid - is that not correct? Hard to tell from the wiring diagram. Is it to any switched live or a specific one? thanks for your help. |

Two heavy browns to solenoid, one small brown/yell to dash light. Can't type fast enough today! thanks Tom, that clears it up for me. i assume if you switch to a denso style you need a switched live? thats what I ran on my kit car. |
