EDIT, PLEASE SEE MORE EDUCATED POST #5
I think I know the basic; ignition signal of some sort and some kind of charge lamp thingy.
Thats all I can get from the wiring diagram, what I don't get is the how.
What is the little black fuse thing that comes off of the charge lamp wire before the main fuse? Is it a voltage sensor of some kind? If so what is the circuit that feeds/draws from it?
How does the ignition circuit feed to the alt? Is it just a signal to tell the alternator that the engine is on?
Is the charge lamp stuff vital to the operation of the alternator? I assume, yes, if the little black thing is the voltage sensor, past that the rest seems to be just for the lamp.
If anybody more electrically inclined could enlighten me I would appreciate it. I am tired of giving myself headaches.
Thanks.
