Had the same question and good folks in Co would not answer their phone o=
r
return my calls??=0D
=0D
Local alternator shop said the green or S wire goes back to the B termin=
al
(senses battery condition and sets charging rate). The yellow or L wire g=
oes
to the alternator solenoid to turn it on and off. =0D
=0D
=0D
My alternator I got from Franklin guys in CO got me scratching my head.=20
Many of the airplane wiring references refer to three major connections t=
o
the alternator. Airframe GND, Alternator Field, and Alternator Out.=0D
=0D
Now, as I look at my alternator, there appears to be four connections. O=
ne
is the GND which essentially is the casing bolted down to the engine. Th=
en
there is a terminal that is marked with =91+=92 symbol that I figured is =
the OUT
judging from the size of the bolt and nut on the terminal. Now, on the s=
ide
there is a plastic connector that has two, yes two, wires coming out. O=
ne
is yellow and the other is green. They are marked =91S=92 and =91L=92. =
I am
guessing one of them is the =91Field=92 but which one?=0D
=0D
Has anyone got this figured out?=0D
