I am running a 22r in my 84 toyota. I am trying to connect my Alternator to the dual battery switch so that it will charge both batteries at once. I have a couple problems though.
1. If i trace the wire from the alt, it ends up in a harness, if i follow the harness it ends up as a bare wire the connects to the positive battery terminal. I suspect this is the charging line. How would i go about getting it out of the loom to re connect it? It wont be long enough as is.
2. I can't find a post on the alt that the lead comes from. It looks like it comes out of a plug? Any ideas?
3. If this works, then that means that the charge from the alt will end up at the ACC post on my battery switch. Will that charge both batteries even if its on 1 or 2? Or will it just charge when it is on both?
4. If i find a post on the alt, should i just run a wire the the second battery or the switch? then it would always charge both but im agraid it will burn out the alternator.
arrug!!! I have looked in Chiltons and Haynes and they both are pretty much mechanical guides.
