Thank you for the reply. The alternator was purchased at AutoZone and I did
have them test it but it is done on a fool proof machine that will tell you
if it is good or bad but not anything else cable and adaptors are not
explained just connect wire d to adapter a type stuff. The counter person
knows nothing but how to look up parts. This alternator is for a Geo metro.
12volt 55amp rebuilt. From the price it has a significant gold content. The
label on it reads
World Class
remanufactured
14850 34
BARCODES
made in Japan J104
On the back of the alternator ther is the output post and a plug receptical
with three spade connectors. I think all the Metros use the same alternator.
I will try again to find more info on my own but any help would be
appreciated.

| correctly. It should be pretty easy to see the wiring when he does it. You might even write it down--offer the explanation that maybe the vehicle is wired wrong if you feel compelled to offer one. For what it's worth, most internally regulated alternators only use 2 wires--one from the switch |
| "excites" the alt, and the cable to the battery, (sometimes 3 wires--and that's the one that depends--like to the idiot light or fuse |
| where it can "sense" current usage). It should be pretty easy to wire. Another option is to visit your local library--they should have shop |
| for Geos or can get one. Trace the path of the alt wiring--it only goes in |
| or 3 places. If you want, mail me the particular alt info and I'll look |
| it. I've never done it on a Loop, but I've switched a number on cars over the years. John in Orygun ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allan" <mut-@msn.com> To: <Loopfram-@topica.com> Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2002 10:56 AM Subject: Geo Alternator for Loop
