| Post subject: | Suzuki Alternator Wiring |
Hi all, I have an alternator from a Suzuki Sierra that I need to wire up. It only has three terminals in total. Theres a plug with two terminals, one marked "IG" and the other "L". The other single terminal has no markings. I'm assuming that the single terminal goes directly to the battery, the "IG" goes to the ignition somewhere and the "L" is for the alt light? I hate wiring, please tell me where they go  
Cheers, Sam |

Thanks Matt. You can't tell me exactly where they go can you?
Where on the Ignition switch does the 'IG' wire go and do I just wire up the 'L' terminal to the dash light? |

Any particular reason why a Suzuki alternator is being used ? |

Had the same issue and found this wiring diagram might be of some help to others: http://www.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=http://metroxfi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/6e2-a-5.png&imgrefurl=http://metroxfi.com/2008/11/geo-metro-and-suzuki-swift-wiring-diagrams/&h=1600&w=1200&sz=255&tbnid=1hNU8lVRsERm9M:&tbnh=260&tbnw=195&prev=/images%3Fq%3DSUZUKI%2BSWIFT%2BWIRING%2BDIAGRAM&hl=en&usg=__xWix-iVudqU3v2OLp9-7wDpcmTs=&ei=sc6IS8e5CoGAswPS_Z2GAw&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=3&ct=image&ved=0CAYQ9QEwAg Url fixed

Are they wired backwards to other alternators? I had a sierra and the alternator died on it, so got it replaced with a bigger one off another car, (no idea what type or any details) and the alternator warning light stayed on instead of being off. Still put out 12V though. |

Ask n ye shall receive
Pics might not quite show the size difference, but there's a fair bit in it... |

The Suzuki Swift or Charade later type alternator with the internal fan is much neater, more efficient and compact. 
and gives more room in a mini
