Denso alternator wiring question
Hi all,
am just plumbing in my new little alternator (Denso one) and was planning on doing the wiring as below. Unfortunately the old alternator didn't
need a switched live feed and so there isn't one in the (nicely wrapped and fixed!) loom.
Can I take a feed from the battery (ie connect the battery post to connector 2) or would that be a 'bad thing'. If not I've got
some spare wires in the loom for upgrading, but they're all relatively small (put in for extra sensors if I want them later) would the current
draw be excessive?
Thanks
Chris

I'd run the feed as ign controlled, but I don't think the current draw is very high, well I hope not as I only have 10 amp cable going to
mine!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Thanks Nat,
I'll use the wire in the loom for the oil pressure gauge I've decided to do without!

It should only draw a few milliamps as it is a sensor to tell the alternator to charge. Practically any wire will do.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box
