Time for me to emerge from my lurking mode to enlist some help. I have a Kelly Aerospace ALY 8520 alternator, with two field connections. The regulator is an Echlin unit, 5 MSA 6, a locally built automotive unit with 5 wires: warn lite ign reg sense --not sure what this is for neg field. Now despite trawling the web, and being electrically challenged, I am unable to figure out how to connect this setup. Regards the warn lite...would there be 12v emanating from the regulator so that a lite with one terminal grounded would then light up? I would really appreciate some help or suggestions! ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:44:56 AM PST US From: "Robert L.

A PayPal voucher for that amount has been forwarded to Matt. Thanks to all those who participated . . .

Do not connect to IGN terminal. Warn Lite: Use the trial and error method. The lamp will limit the current so hopefully no harm will be done if polarity is wrong. I suggest first connecting the lamp to the main power bus through a fuse. It should light up when the engine is not running. If not, then try connecting the lamp to ground. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=451465#451465 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 12:26:00 PM PST US From: "Robert L.

With respect to TWO field terminals on alternator. Ground ONE and run the other to the F terminal on regulator. These terminals are not polarity sensitive.
