The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Issue: Generator-to-Alternator Conversion

Tak28Tudor · 06-21-2021, 10:57 AM

Update: I inspected all wiring from terminal box to instrument panel. All wires look good and correctly hooked up per the Ford Wiring Diagram. I then replaced the "terminal to generator" wiring harness with a new harness because it had a little wear and tear on it.

Trying trace a potential short, I only hooked up the 1 wire from the new terminal to generator harness. I did not hook up the wire from the "light harness." Same issue occurs...blew the fuse.

I believe this alternator may be bad/incorrect.

Thank you everyone for your guidance.
