Well I’m back to alternator problems again
Wednesday I put a new internally regulated levee Neville alternator on. I had to use an ignition source with the key on to make it charge. I used the “field” wire from the old external regulator and hooked it to the circled lug on the back of the alternator.
Ran it for 2 hours on a trip and charged fine. However on the way home of wasn’t working. Got home and removed that wire and it no longer has 12 volts with the key on.
1. Is there a fuse for that regulator?? If so where might it be??
2. I have it jumpered at the isolator for now and am putting a fuse on this wire. Does anyone see a problem with this work around
3. Is there a different wire I should be using on the back of the alternator??
I’m at my wits end with this thing. Have a big trip coming up and dont wanna end up stranded.
