CHARGING SYSTEMS
Being a “universal” style harness and with so many different charging systems
from different auto manufacturers, Painless has only supplied the Output charge wire.
This wire will be the larger rolled Red 6 gauge wire provided with the harness. This wire
is printed “ALTERNATOR B+ TO BATTERY B+”. This wire will need to be connected
to the B+ lug of the Alternator, by first installing the rubber boot and then crimping on
the appropriate ring terminal.
Additional battery power and switched 12 volt wires will need to be supplied by
you, the installer. A factory diagram of the charging system you are using will be needed
in order to identify addition connections that may be needed to the Alternator and/or
Voltage regulator. Some common charging system diagrams have been provided for
you.
