Ok thanks this is the wiring diagram for the Alternator circuit which doesn’t mean a great deal to me tbh , I’m not sure where the light component sits in this diagram to try and tell what polarity it is , thanks for the reply .

Ok thanks , I’ll take it apart at the weekend and see what I can figure out 👍🏻

So if this was the rectifier ( it will be similar) the exiter wire obviously goes to the plug input , do I need another 12v feed going into it too ? And does the earth go to the prongs ? Thanks 🙏🏻

Ok thanks , I’ll have a go at that and see if it works , fingers crossed then 🤞🏻

Thanks for the reply , yes I’ve come to thinking there’s no real way around it , if I want the big alternator ( I’m going up to the arctic this winter and need plenty of umph for charging my leisure batterys offgrid) I’m going to blank the lights off under the cluster , the electrical system...

Hi it’s a specially made alternator by D2U alternators in the uk , there’s the B post and a single pin on a connector on the alternator , the old alternator Also had a single pin connector and the b post , the new one doesn’t require the single pin so that connector doesn’t even need to be...

I haven’t removed the bulb because it’s not only the red battery bulb , there’s a red stop sign bulb and all the other dash info goes blank , like mileage, mpg ,time .. it would be better for me to find a way to trick the exiter wire into thinking it’s connected somehow ( not sure that’s even...

It just needs the B post and earth , it doesn’t need the ignition wire plugged in , but because it’s not plugged in it throws the red low voltage light , need a way of bypassing the ignition exiter wire

It’s a Vauxhall Movano 2.3 diesel 2014 , this is the alternator that came off I’ve been told it’s Bss coms , the new one is a 300 amp self exiting so doesn’t need the exiter wire the pics are the old alternator , thanks

Hi folks , I’ve replaced the alternator on my campervan for a more powerful self exiting one , now that the exciter connection is unplugged it throws the red low voltage dash lights up even tho it’s charging properly and no low voltage on the van , is there a way to get around this and connect...
