Alternator Wiring Problems

[gncgray]

Evening all

 

I have swopped over my alternator for a small Nissan Micra one. It only has 2 terminals on the back..is this correct?

 

 

One terminal for the battery leads and other dash light?

I don't think so. There is usually a threaded post with a bolt on marked B(+) which is for the main battery lead(s). Then a choice of two layouts. Two spades in a T formation with a T shaped plug or three spades in a l_l formation with a round plug. These are for ignition live and ignition light. I haven't come across a nippon-denso before with a B post and only one spade.

Cheers guys, the alternator is a Bosch one with 2 threaded bolts. I think it's B+ and D+.

Bosch on a micra? Now there's a thing. B+ is battery positive, via starter solenoid if that's more convenient. D+ to ignition light. (Hopefully not an LED.)
