Where does the alternator go in a Mitsu?
The alternator harness goes to the fusebox and that diode or the “generator relay” that Mitsu calls it hangs around the fusebox. Then, you have those 4-white wires that go into the fusebox between the 100A fuse and the fusible link. I am doing a wire tuck right now.
Why does my alternator not charge the battery?
If I leave the generator relay unplugged, the battery light does not work at all. If I bridge the wires it will only come on with the car off and key forward. I did notice however that the battery light is slightly more dim than the rest of them. A picture of the back of the plug and what wires go where would be much appreciated.
Where does the charging warning light go on an alternator?
Black and yellow goes from the alternator plug to that generator relay. Blue wire goes from generator relay to that interior harness (C25) which goes to the instrument panel wiring (My 3rd pic the plug on the left) which looks to be for the instrument cluster for the “charging warning light”. Click to expand… Gotcha.
Why does my alternator not put out electricity?
IIRC, the alternator won’t put out if voltage isn’t on one of the pins. Ah that one – called the generator relay in the Mitsu manual. From the Mitsu manual: “The generator relay functions as a backup for the flow of electricity to the rotor coil (field coil) if there is a disconnection or damaged wiring of the charging warning light.”

How can I tell if my alternator is charging the battery?
Use your multimeter (if you don’t have one get one). Turn it to dc volts put your leads on your battery (with the car running), if your alternator is charging it should read from 13.5V-14.5V (thats a good charge). If your not getting a reading from there you can check your output from your alternator.
Can a Saab 92 start with a bad alternator?
Dual ignition coils (the blue cylinders at the top of the picture) on a Saab 92. Before you go out and order a new battery or alternator, test some of these different systems. If your alternator, coil, battery, or starter is bad, the car probably won’t start, and it definitely won’t be drivable.
