Need a little help with the wiring on my '91 1uz conversion. Ive searched the internet top to bottom and there is a lot of conflicting information and I've tried every concievable variation but I cant get my charge light to work.
On my alternator I have The main post charging wire in 4G size going direct to the battery positive via the 120 amp original fuse.
On the back of my alternator there are no markings to identify the 3 pin outlet connector and no markings on the connector plug either.
Looking at the back of my alternator there is a vertical pin on the left which goes to a slightly larger wire than the other two and is white and black. I have assumed this is the 'S' wire and I have connected that directly to the battery via the original 40 amp fuse.
The pin on the top is yellow and I assume is 'L' ???
The pin on the bottom is black and yellow. I assume that is 'IG' ???
I have wired the 'L' via a 12v LED from switched ignition position 2
I have wired the 'IG' to switched ignition position 1
My dash mounted volt meter moves from high 12's to about 14volts when the engine is started so from that I assume the alternator is charging the battery.
My charge lamp works in reverse ??? Ignition switch position 1 - nothing happens, click through to ignition position 2 and nothing happens. Continue to crank the motor and it lights up and remains lit when the engine is running.
Every car ive owned... its the other way around. Any ideas ?
