Re: Issue: Generator-to-Alternator Conversion
I am going to expand on what Katy said. Unhook the wires to the alternator and start the car. Then measure the voltage at the alternator terminal to see if it is negative 7.5 volts or positive 7.5 volts. You may have fried the alternator in which case it may be zero volts. The alternator may require a load in which case hook up the wire to the light switch and turn on the lights.
