Alternator install

[khowa45]

What would be damaged if I where to wire a new plug up on my alternator wrong and then try start my hj61 12ht?.

Vehicle will now not start but all fuses appear to be OK in the fuse box. I did not smell anything burn. There was a decent spark when I hooked the battery up at the negative terminal

You might have fried a fusible link. Not sure if that's causing the no start.

Where abouts could I find that?

I don't know much about the hj but the fusibles are usually near the battery.

this is for a 2h, but the fusibles might look similar Grounded out my Alternator!!!! No lights, No START! - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/grounded-out-my-alternator-no-lights-no-start.461142/

Thanks for the info, has been helpful. Although I now believe I have the alternator plug wired up correctly, so I'm unsure why it would have fried something

It could still be a fusible link blown that's stopping it starting. They have flame proof insulation, and may look ok but be fried underneath the insulation.
Good luck.

This is how I've setup the alternator loom for now, I cut the old duetch plug off and just put terminal clips in there in the same order. When I put the negative back on the battery there was a big spark..

As you can see on the loom near the alternator there is also a fuseable link that I have taken the 100 amp fuse out as it was fried

As you can see it's also arced out at the top of the alternator

It looks like your main charge wire is connected directly to ground in pic 3. Are you sure there isn't supposed to be an insulated spacer on that terminal?
That's the b+ terminal and has to be insulated from ground.

the LARGE WHITE wire w / BLUE TRacer Stripe DOES OT go into the GREEN plug in any way at all ?

holy cow !

PULL OUT the large 10GA wire out of green plug asap !

that's totally FULL battery Voltage and your issue !

Thanks mate, it was previously wired into the plug on the old alternator. What is that wire for then?

This was the plug on the old alternator

Your b+ main charge wire is shorted to ground . It looks like it's missing a insulator. pic no 3. post#9

Are you saying it needs an insulator under the terminal so it's not grounding on top of the alternator?

@pithicus is 100% correct
