Does anyone have a simple diagram of connecting a warning (led) light to a 1g ford alternator?
I have an in dash voltmeter, but want a more immediate alert.
I do not want a battery level indicator….but rather a light that goes on as soon as the alternator stops charging or charging sufficiently.
Or, instead of a diagram, which wire becomes grounded if the alternator is not functioning?
There are so many schematics that include resistors to excite the alternator and diodes to prevent current back flow, but these all seem to have different ohm values etc.
Or, is there a plug and play module? A company in Australia has one but they seem unresponsive….and pricey.
