black/red wire
got a new[to me] alternator from fleebay
eventualy [as i must of manually charged it about 20 times]..yep got sick of that.
:/
and it has an extra wire going to alternator black/red wire
whats it for?
i have the blue and main power red conected and its working

I have the same "problem"

installed a 1Y golf lump instead of the JX and I'm left with that one wire.
It's not connected ever since (15K km ago) and no problems.

So no idea what it's for

that will be the speed sensor wire (rpm)

used for the oil buzzer circuit and rev counter

should connect to the W terminal

on petrols its a green wire connected to the coil negative

ok thanks
is there a revcounter i could get to feed off it?
