ignition switch wire
where can i find the 12v switched wire so i can pigtail off it for my alternator. i can't seem to find a red 12v switched wire under my hood
Re: ignition switch wire
I dont think its red but Im not sure. In my car there are 2 wires by the water neck together, one is the temp switch wire and the other one goes to the starter. Try to find that wire. Pigtail from your alternator on a Toyota? You might not want to do that. Another thing, the starter wire will only get power to start the car.
Re: ignition switch wire
well all the diagrams i've looked at says the charge lamp and the ign switch is one the same circuit. i tracked down the charge and wondered has anyone connected the charge lamp and ign sw wires from the alternator to the same circuit.
also i tried wiring in a single pole switch for the 12v switched circuit for the alternator coming direct from the battery is it possible that burnt out my alternator.
it worked for about 5mins then the alternator died

I don't have the diagram if you can email or post them up i look for
In an External alternator car you won't find the IG near the existing alternator harness because those cars simple don't use them.
You got to run an wire from the female voltage regulator plug to the alternator.

Re: ignition switch wire
Since i removed the voltage regulator and the relay that it connects to. I used a 4 wire internal voltage regulator type alternator and the ignition switch was almost impossible to find. i pigtailed off the ignition switch itself it was the black wire with the yellow stripe which was 12v switched
incase your color wire is different it was the wire highest on the switch
this was in a 1982 te72
