I think my buddy (CAR) is to embarrased to post this question so I have to post it for him. :mrgreen: Now that that is out of the way I need help or I mean he needs help.LOL
Ok his alternator blew up. We took it out and had it rebuilt. He picked it up from the alternator shop hooked it up himself he got the Green wire and the Black ground wire backwards on the alternator. It cause some wires to melt and now his boat will not run.
He says it starts for a second and then die's (Like the lanyard is disconected). He says when he routed threw the wrapped up wire loom he noticed a purple wire that was melted.
What is this purple wire? is it the same purple wire thats connected to the lanyard/kill switch.
Where does this purple wire go? Just wondering if anyone had any advice on how to track this problem down and fix it.
When you hook you alternator up backwards what happen's
The main output of the alternator was hooked up correctley it was jsut the small green and black wires that got mixed up.
