vn v6 alternator exciting in hilux

[gladstone dave]

Hi everyone,

I have just bought an 81 hilux with a vn v6 conversion, only to find the alternator was not charging. I changed the brushes then ended up buying a new reg for it. Still no charge, I then accidently bridged the two wires in the plug at the top of the alternator and it started charging

My delima is that it doesn't excite unless done manually......

The charge light on the dash is not working so I'm suspecting it's either not wired correctly or has a blown globe.

What I'd like to know is what colour wires should these alternator wires be connected to and is there any other way I can overcome this problem?

Thank you in advance,
Dave

Well I just went out to take some pics and traced a yellow/blue wire from the charge light and hooked it up to the plug on the regulator and taadaa! it bloody works

so thanks for your intended help but I stumbled over a solution.....
