Have you got the plug for the vit alt?

It's easy to wire up the vit alt, the wiring colours are even the same.

[hamer]

Red /white tracer = L (lamp)
Black /white tracer= IG (ignition +)

White /yellow tracer to the + terminal on the starter

Yes some of the Alts only have the one connector, you can still use the diagram I posted as the wires will still be in the same position.

What you have done is probably correct, what colour was the small wire?

[hamer]

think it was yellow and red mate?

[ScottieJ]

Probably the Lamp wire then, guess when you turn the ignition on the battery light comes on and the. Goes off once the engine is started? I seem to remember that is the only connector in the terminal on most.

It should be red and white but chances are the white bit has just gone yellow after 20years in an engine bay

Are you sure you don't have a small black/white wire hanging around ??

[ScottieJ]

If he has the same alt as the ones I run with an externally replaceable Bosch voltage regulator then they only have the terminal for the Lamp wire

My plug is still wired up with an ignition live for both types of alt though.
