Rolliac Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Has anyone changed the alternator in a ke11 from the external to internal regulated type? There is an extra wire going to the regulator compared to other KE’s (I think) which is for the “Turn Signal Flasher” I understand that when changing to internal type reg the Charge Warning Light wire runs straight to the alternator but I don’t know where to put the Turn Signal Flasher wire. Could I just join it to the Charge Warning Light wire and to the alternator? Quote
Medicine_Man Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Turn Signal (Flasher Can) is just picking up Ignition switched 12v.. Easy as piss to change over to an internally regulated unit. Internally regulated alternators just use the L wire (Lamp) on the D+ terminal on the alternator.. Quote
Rolliac Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks a lot for you help. So could I also run the Turn Signal Flasher wire to the D+ terminal or where would you recommend for 12v? Quote

It is probably Tee'd in somewhere already, I don't think removing the external regulator will effect it.. Quote
OBSCENE Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 if you remove the external regulator on the left hand front of the car and strip the wiring back to the right hand side you end up with only 3 wires into a plug. They are then modified to fit your new alternator one for your dash light (yellow/white) and one from your accesories to charge the rotor in the alternator (White/red) and the Black/White runs to your starter solenoid which is left untouched. Hope this helps. Quote

Thanks heaps for your help. I’m a noob when it comes to electrics. Quote
Medicine_Man Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 D+ (Dynamo) is where your charge light wire connects to your alternator (All that you need on an internally regulated bosch alternator) helps get the field rotor magnetism going.. Then your B+ charge wire back to the battery.. Quote
