HeswallTR3 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hi, Have just purchased a new loom for my alternator, and the colour coding does not seem to match the old wiring diagrams I have 2 brown wires linked, which I think attach to the solenoid (but where) and a white/redstripe with a ring terminal attached, does anyone have a diagramm to suit, Oh and by the way I have converted to neg earth Thanks Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Menno van Rij Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Here and here... are the best places to find your answers: Advance Auto Wire. The first link is the original wiring, the second one the upgraded AAW special. Menno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Larnder Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hi Keith On my TR3A with an alternator, the red/white wire goes to the small terminal on the solenoid and the "double " brown wires crimped into one large connector, go to the large terminal on the solenoid. I have a third heavier brown wire that also goes to this same terminal but I have the heavier duty alternator, so you may not have this third wire. I bought mine from Moss in Bristol, who were no help at all with wiring instructions. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MJL Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I to am puzzled by which wires go where when the alternator is fitted particularly as Moss refer to yellow and a yellow/green wires where as on the alternator supplied I have a yellow and a heavy and a light brown wire. I think recently there was an article on gutting the control box and using it as a terminal block for the spare wires. Can anyone please point me the right way? Many thanks.
