First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... For an excellent explanation of why incorrect alternator wiring makes it difficult to keep your battery charged the MAD Electric site has a good writeup. I learned a lot from their article about it. http://www.madelectrical.com/electricaltech/remotevoltagesensing.shtml

Well I found the junction block (at least what was left of it). The pin to which the various wires connect had melted through it and was dangling free. The wire from the positive battery terminal was disconnected altogether. I think I may have found the reason for the electrical problems I've had. Where might I get a replacement junction block? Thanks!

Here ya go. + small lead goes to the junction block. http://s97.photobucket.com/albums/l206/sheenster_2006/?action=view¤t=BatteryPosLead-12.jpg Sheen> Hello, Jim!> Do you have a picture of where the small wire from the postive battery cable is supposed to connect? Mine is loose and I'm wondering if that's the reason I don't have any power (or at least why my battery continually drains dead when the car sits for more than a couple of days). I have 12 volts at the battery and the starter but nothing at the alternator. Thanks!> > David _________________________________________________________________ Show them the way!
