REFERENCE INFORMATION
ALTERNATOR
If the engine doesn’t start on its own
power, you should check the battery
and starter circuits.
A charged battery in good condition is a
prerequisite for testing an alternator/regulator
system. If battery is suspect, substitute a known
good battery in the vehicle.
Alternators have a large stud on side of
housing as output terminal to connect wire 6.
