Ok, time to get back on this. I gave up waiting and Pulled the Alternator myself.
I found the Batt. Post on the rear was completely fried. Burnt to the point of crystalizing the protective boot. The wiring looks good and the wire Lugs were tight on the post. Any thoughts on that kind of over heating internally? Could water shorting cause this?
Can anyone provide wire functions on the Alt/Regulator? My Chilton is less than useless. A good link would work fine.
Large red = Batt. lead.
Small wire on batt post.
3 wires in Reg. connector - 1 read hot(exciter wire?)
1 wire in a single connector
I'd like to confirm function on all these before fighting the Alt back in place.
Did you know you do not have to pull the y pipe and Axle on a v-6 as ford claims?
