Where does the red wire from the alternator go?
Locate the terminal on the alternator labeled “B”, “Bat” or “Pos.” All alternators have this terminal. The wire that connects to it is red and goes to the battery. It is a heavy duty wire as it has to carry high current.
What happens when an alternator has an electrical problem?
After the engine starts (thanks to the high voltage provided by the battery), the alternator provides the electricity required to power the car’s many electrical functions, including the lights and radio, the spark, charging the battery, and others.

Can a solid red wire be pulled from the ignition?
1) power – solid red is a good guess, remember it will only work if the ignition is on (well, that is if your power source is pulled from the ignition or not. It is possible to pull power that is ‘always on’ if you can find a wire under the dash, again, your voltmeter will come in handy here)
How to connect a coolant tempreture signal wire?
Coolant tempreture signal wire, this give you a reading on you water temp guage. Best to put a aftermarket electric water temp guage with new sensor, as the vl dash guage will give you a wrong reading with the orignal sensor on the motor. Connect this wire to you reciveing signal on you tempreture guage.

Where do I put the brown wire on my one wire alternator?
The brown wire is what would typically be tied to a charge warning lamp, and is responsible for exciting the charging system. One of the largest contributors to the confusion is the fact that some one-wire alternators are built using an SI series case.
What kind of wire does a Si alternator use?
SI alternators use a three wire hookup, with the large battery stud, a brown exciter wire and smaller red voltage sense wire. The brown wire is what would typically be tied to a charge warning lamp, and is responsible for exciting the charging system.
Can a one wire alternator be used for an alt light?
The only drawback to using a one-wire alternator in GM vehicles has to do with the ALT warning lamp (idiot light) on the dash. A one-wire alternator doesn’t use the two-wire connector which supplies electrical current to facilitate use of the idiot light.
