Alternator ID & Help

I realize there's a huge controversy about "one wire's" When I said "closer to the battery" I meant "closer" in voltage ON A PROPERLY WORKING SYSTEM.

This means that if you have harness (bulkhead connector) problems, or a drop in a connector or switch, the factory sense lead may NOT be 'closer'. The reason that the factory sense with a separate lead CAN be 'closer' is that there's not much current on that line, and therefore no (little) voltage drop

On the other hand, the main charging lead can have a LOT of current across it and depending on size and integrity of connections, can have some drop.

Again, just me. I'll stick to "more than one wire's"
