Connect the wire from the Negative (-) battery post to any bolt

On the metal housing of the alternator.

Connect the wire from the Positive (+) battery post to the big red post on the alternator marked (+) or  (pos).

Also connect a small jumper wire from this post to the terminal marked “2” on the back of the alternator.

 

 

There is a diode built into the alternator which will prevent it from discharging the battery when it is not turning. Do not connect anything to the terminal marked #1. This is for the red light on the dash of a car and will discharge the battery if connected, like leaving the ignition switch in the “On” position.

Some remanufactured alternators require a higher start up speed than others. If the unit still wont charge, it may be necessary to replace the unit or wait for higher wind speeds.
