Default Re: Issue: Generator-to-Alternator Conversion

So touch both wires together, if fuse doesn't blow it's not the car, now touch battery wire to alternator, if spark/short problem is in alternator---- most likely it is negative ground, most + conversions use negative ground parts and add a post and ground strap to make conversions, this way a standard diode set is used and instead of grounding the diodes to the case a negative post insulated from the case is installed, and a metal strap connects the original positive post to ground.
