How are alternators wired in a GM car?

GM alternator wiring GM has many different alternators and each has its own alternator wiring diagram and alternator symptoms. One of the key differences is how the internal voltage regulator determines charge rate. Does it check the vehicle’s voltage internally or from an outside source?

Is the same model suburban with the correct battery?

(If you have a same-model Suburban with the factory/correct setup, you could send a picture as an answer, rather than trying to decode my setup and see if I am fixing it right.) The vehicle was fine until installation of a dual-battery setup. This was problematic, and since has been removed.

What do the lines mean on an alternator to battery wiring diagram?

As stated earlier, the lines at a Alternator To Battery Wiring Diagram signifies wires. Occasionally, the cables will cross. But, it does not mean link between the cables.

Where is the voltage sensing wire on a GM alternator?

The Number 1 wire on the 10- or 12-SI is connected to the charge warning light on the dash. The Number 2 wire is what is called the voltage sensing wire. When converting from an external voltage regulator to an internal such as the 12-SI, many enthusiasts merely connect the Number 2 voltage sensing wire directly to the output terminal.

When did alternators replace generators in early Chevys?

Among the most overlooked aspects of swapping late-model engines into early Chevys is upgrading the charging system. It was in the early ’60s when alternators replaced generators. Since then, a landslide of charging system and alternator enhancements have followed.

What kind of regulator does a GM alternator use?

Assuming you want to upgrade, we’ll take a couple of the more common options and run through the wiring variables. The original 1960’s GM alternator employs an external voltage regulator. This alternator (10-DN), uses a flat, two-prong connection at the back of the alternator.

Why does an alternator need a heavier wire than a stock battery?

“An alternator with a higher amp output than stock requires a heavier charge wire (the wire that connects the alternator to the battery) because of the increased amperage.” To evaluate your charging system, try this simple experiment.
