Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forum, the rules said I had to post an introduction, so here I am. Howdy.
I've got a question pertaining to the alternator/regulator of an FJ40 I'm doing some electrical work on. This thing has had many owners and the wiring has been modified a bit by other people. Certain parts also don't match the diagrams I've found online, and most of it just flat out doesn't make any sense.
I've got the engine re-wired well enough that it starts and runs, but I'm wondering if my alternator/regulator are set up right? This is how they were when the customer brought it to me, but I can't seem to get a voltage reading off of the alternator, and I'm having a hard time making sense of whatever is going on with this regulator setup.
Attached is a diagram I drew of how it was wired originally, along with some pictures to help make some sense of this thing. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
