I have got my alternator installed (Denso 12185N) and am now turning to the wiring. I've reviewed various online threads and just want to confirm my wiring before starting to make connections. I had a non-working control box so I've taken the guts out of it to allow me to use it as a connection box.
Questions are part of the pictures as well.
1. D and F are connected inside control box via heavy resistor. I think I also need to remove this to separate F and D terminals. Is that correct?
2. Does thin yellow that was on D now move to F to connect to yellow/green from alternator? So wire from alternator is then wired directly to indicator light.
3. Is a fuse or circuit breaker needed on the output from the alternator (maybe inside control box between D and A1 and A)? If so, what size?
4. What gauge of wire should I use for inside box connections between D, A1, and A?
5. What gauge of wire from alternator (60 Amp) to D terminal on control box? Run about 3 feet, current wire from generator about .064 inch (so I think it is 14 gauge on the new harness I installed earlier)?
6. My plan to add additional circuits is to daisy-chain heavy white from old to new fuse box, move white coil wire over to second fuse box, take fan from new fuse box, take third wire from alternator (supposed to go to switched power) to fuse input (currently not used on second fuse box). Is this a reasonable approach, or is there a better way?
As usual, thanks so much for the help.
Cheers, Mike
